For straps I like to cut 2 oversized pieces, say 2.5-3 inches each, glue them together then cut the final 1 inch straps to get perfect clean edges. Great tutorial with lots of useful little tips/tricks, I like how you notch for the boxed corner! I’m going to have to try that one.
@@SailriteWorkbenchbtw would you recommend the smooth left foot set or the the regular smooth foot set for the LS machine for working on stuff like this? I just ordered the kit but forgot to add the smooth foot… hoping support can help me out
There is not a zipper pocket included in the patter, but you could absolutely add one to the design. There is enough space on the liner for a pocket. I always encourage people to make kits their own by adding things like that. In the future, we will have more complex bag kits and incorporate more pockets and zippers.
You sure can! Along with your smooth foot, I would also recommend a leather point needle. In the video, I used this needle with my tex-90 thread: www.sailrite.com/Needles-135x16-DI-18
A trick a cobbler taught me is if you don't have a smooth presser foot is to place parchment paper between the project and presser foot. It eliminates the markings.
