Now, with Redheads, I git that, but walleyes I sometimes want to bring home I can’t believe it has come to this! I guess popularity over all the years forced this to be implemented. I used to ice fish up there and it was like a city built in the middle of the lake. As large as the lake is, hard to think it became so over fished Leech lake still ok to fish and catch?

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 16, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 16, 2019 You kin keep the runts on Leech (assuming you're in line with all the other liberal rules n laws n regs n statutes n ordinances They have a no-kill slot (20-26, or was it 22-26) and you can keep ONE over 26, or in other words, keep 4 fish under 2 lbs-ish. Which is fine for lunch on the lake, but for dinner, I eat 6 of those just waiting for the taters to get done! Off to the gym... before I change my mind Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

I don't race around a holster - much slower than I go down the side of a belt - so I'm sure that helps. The dog should be at or just above the plate when the needle enters. If it's still below the plate, that could result in stitching angling toward the back edge. (note, in MN "aguycould" is one word). Well, I sewed my holster and immediately ran into problems! Must not have had the holster angled properly and needle came out the side and hit the feed dog - didn’t break but rolled the edge. Replaced needle and decided to move stitch line in 1/8” and no more issues until I got to the end. Turned around and presser foot slipped off the edge and stitches look wonky. Live and learn I guess. Next one will hopefully be better I’ll post pics in a separate thread. Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 18, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 18, 2019 How ya move the stitch line in after ya start?#@! Not gittin' the process here. 'Course, I don't understand them fellas preach at ya 'don't sew across a strap cuz ya weaken it'... then double stitch holes in a holster Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

mikesc Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Maybe use a demountable table attachment around the arm ( to keep the holster horizontal when sewing ) when sewing these ? Just a thought ..

RockyAussie Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 Hey Gary if the problem you are having is along the lines in this picture below you could try using the slotted needle plate or if you have not seen it yet here is a post I did awhile back might be of interest. Problem below shows what happens when trying to sew close to the edge with the standard dog foot/needle plate. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
