Members Hildebrand Posted April 29, 2019 Members Report Posted April 29, 2019 This is my first try at an IWB holster. Thank you to JLS leather for the pattern, this is a Kimber Micro in his Springfield Micro pattern. If I make it again for this gun I need to sweep the top of the front and back down a shade to completely clear the magazine release and squeeze the stitch line in at the very top a touch. I have a few issues with the sewing, I am starting to get on the same page as my CB 4500 but sometimes I still end up with a stitch where I didn't intend for it to land. Same with the presser foot marks. Any critiques or pointers welcome. Todd Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 29, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Yer slots are a bit narrow. You could leave a bit more room under the grip without hurting anything. Some of that would be helped just by 'suckin in" the stitch line where you talked about. And yeah - those footprints are deep. Put a piece of light leather (3/4-ish) under the presser foot... prollem solved (and no going back to smooth later). In this vid, I actually used wet leather to make the marks even worse. The piece under the foot eliminates the marks (and I have the foot cranked down pretty good). footpad.mp4 Edited April 29, 2019 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
