Really Wish I had a Sewing Machine LOL tool roll

[Bert03241]

I have tons of knives and there just in boxes, decided to make a roll for a few of them, eventually all of them.But these old hands with arthritis have a hard time sewing and theres a lot of sewing. I just started on the pockets on one side and find it hard and painful to hand sew. Its gonna take me forever just to make 1 roll. I can't afford a sewing machine just for the few things I make. Oh well guess I'll just have to take my time, maybe in a week or 2 it will be done LOL

If'n a fella DIDNT have arthritis, that might  be a good way ta GIT it

I'm in the same boat haha. I'd love a machine, but you really need 2. And I don't do production work and can't warrent nor afford the expense. Nonetheless that's a good looking roll.

Thanx, I've been looking at these 100 dollar cobbler machines, that might be worth it if they work LOL

One thing you are doing wrong to start with . . . don't cut off the strip to use for the knives.   

Just fold over the length you need.  Then you can make two stitches . . . one about half way up . . . one at the top . . . that'll hold them.  

The fold at the bottom won't have to be stitched either.

May God bless,

 Thats how I've done my tool rolls, but with maybe more stitches and occasionally a ready-rivet at the top of each pocket

And this reminds me I need to make a tool-roll for my dottir's archaeology tools

Hundred Dollar cobbler machines I bought  one it cost me more than that to go get it because you don't want to ship one of those they are to fragile but good luck on that one.
