Attachment for making straps

[Emma Nott]

Hi,

 

I have both a walking foot cylinder arm and normal flat bed machine and I was wondering if you know of any attachments that fold and stitch 1-1.5cm straps? Or at least something that folds the edges of the leather in evenly so that making straps isn’t so manual?

I have been handmaking basic leather bags for a while and find straps so annoying! My orders are picking up so I need upgrade my process!

 

Thanks,

Emma

Yes, you want a folder for industrial machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSNKea86Q4s

Pay close attention to the strap that is coming out without a filler inside.

Make sure the folders are for your machine, different folders for different strap sizes.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for you reply.

 

How would I manage the bulkiness of the leather at the edge turn with an attachment like this?

Would I skive the edges of the leather only?

Thanks,
