So just codura and loop works fine? I guess the loop has a fair bit of rigidity.For the little 9mm I used some thin HDPE between some loop and 500D Cordura. I skipped the HDPE on the two larger ones and have decided it’s not necessary.

Also what kind of edge binding is that? Looks durable.

Well you obviously have a knack for it so don't stop. If you're patient, industrial machines can be picked up fairly cheap. My first 2 I got for free.

Need, no. Want, yes. Walking foot just really helps to keep mulit layers of fabric lined up and to feed fat stacks. Sewing that belt yesterday would have been a lot less fun without compound feed. Before I had a compound feed, I had to apply a lot of outfeed pressure to get thick stacks to feed through. Obviously this can lead to inconsistent stitch length.Thanks for the encouragement!
I actually have a small business opportunity in mind and am kinda working towards that. Don’t really want to be sewing myself, but am leaning so I can design and prototype myself. Want to cut that flow time out to go faster.
Do you think I need a walking foot?
I want something powerful. But I also want something slow. I don’t need to go fast for prototyping. Need more precision at the cost of efficiency.
I did use a snap fastener for mounting strap and retaining strap. Other end of retaining strap mounts to inside with velcro so it is easily adjustable for various pistols. Stole that from marsupial. I got the fasteners at hobby lobby. They are very snug but I'm gonna have to replace them with some higher grade ones. I have already deformed it by fastening it blind. I feel like velcro would work fine. There is so much friction on the mounting strap with it weaving through 5 webbing loops that there is basically no strain transferred to the fastener. Downside of velcro on the front is you couldn't undo it quietly if needed.Sweet!
I got a pile of pistols on my desk from buddies who want one. Gonna whip out some for some more G20’s, some G29’s, and a G40.
Did you use a snap fastener? Have noticed the cheap Amazon ones don’t hold too tight. Any recommendos?
Yea the marsupial has 3 tab loops on the bottom. The holster has 2 that go between those. Then a piece of doubled webbing weaves through them before snapping. It is a little bit of a pain to weave it through but it makes for s a super stable and secure connection. It is also a very natural drawing position. I'd say I can draw and fire in a second or less.@WoodBow what’s the function of the two webbing loops on top? Does that top strap snake through harness holster harness holster harness?
