Very good tips! Gussets used to be my worst nightmare too. Another way to cheat is to sew from both sides of a two piece gusset top down to an offset from the center mark at the bottom. Stop, trim the excess and sew the two gussets together. Then sew up the remaining hole between the body and gusset. This helps when you have a radius or you have inconsistent results due to stretching ect. If you skive well and cut the excess straight I’ve had pretty good results this way.

If you're using round corners on the body of the bag, the difference between the lengths of the outer circumference of the body and the gusset is often due to the difference between the diameter of the round corners of the body and the the corners that the gusset actually is glued to and travels. So, for example, if the 2 corners of the body combined are a half circle of 1" diameter, and the seam that the gusset uses is 1/4", that means the the corners of the body are 1" x 3.1416 ÷ 2 and the gusset's corners are (1" - 1/4" x 2) x 3.1416 ÷2, and the difference 0.7854". Thickness and stretch of the leather will change things a bit, but the above math should solve out 99% of the issue. Obviously, it's better to use bigger diameter corners with smaller seams as it reduces the stretching needed for the gusset (In the above scenario, it's a 100% stretch, and you can reduce it to 33% by using 2" diameter and 1/4" seam).

#5 the cylinder arm machine... My wife lovingly purchased me a sewing machine as a surprise early Christmas gift... But it was a flatbed. It's a nightmare for sewing gussets into a bag. I would hate to disappoint her by telling her she bought the wrong machine... And it's a nice machine for what it is. But I wish she had asked me first.
@thomasbeckett12453 жыл бұрын
Gussets are measured in holes 🕳 if your hand sewn. If you use so many a inch like eight. Then inches also work... just be sure the 🕳 holes 🕳 are same distance around

I wish I could find Aqua lamb 315 in Europe. because am not happy with water based glue I use it now for leather. it is not strong and it tooks very long to dry out, and mosty sometimes I got moist glue inside my industrial sewing machine. specially inside the feed dog. a few times was happend and I had to stop and take out feed dog and clean it. I hate that part.

Parker! Thanks for all your great videos! I'm getting ready to buy my first sewing machine and I'm stuck between the Cobra 26, which looks like what you are using here, and the Tech Sew 2750 pro that I've seen you do and review on in another video. I've look for compare and contrast youtube videos and couldn't find any. I know that both machines are good but would love your input to help me. Thanks!
@whitandpark3 жыл бұрын
Hey Anthony! You're right, they're both good machines. If I was going to pick one right now it would probably be the Cobra 26 just because i like the brushless motor. It's a lot more smooth that the family motor on the Techsew
