Your videos are both informative and inspiring to a male learning to sew. Sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Thanks for the content!

This is just the thing I need to make! Not for a gun though (illegal where I live), for my knitting machine ribbing attachment 😂

Great idea! Some day love to gather up the pieces to an octagon Winchester Opa never finished and this is a fantastic way to make it less obvious. Will put this in my sewing project playlist, where only a select few make it to be hopefully be used later.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your father must have been a smart man. Cherish those heirlooms as you are a proud American and learn how to both sew and shoot, and keep that nice case.

That sounds cool! The machine is a Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1 if you aren't familiar with it. I have a review and several other videos featuring it on my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Just found this video. I am motivated. My wife has home sewing machine and we both wondered what machine you were using in the video. I don't sew (currently) but your machine looks more robust and (in a good sense) "industrial".

Hi Larry, the machine in this video is a Sailrite Ultrafeed LS-1. I have several videos about this machine on my channel. My quick-and-dirty advice on sewing machines is this: Start with a vintage (generally per-1970s) domestic machine. They're cheap, tough and simple. If you find your desire to work with heavier or more difficult-to-feed materials is outpacing a vintage domestic machine, a walking-foot machine is best. You can buy a portable (the Sailrite or one of its many imitators, I won't belabor the point but I am officially anti-imitator) or an industrial walking-foot machine. (I have a recent "do you need an industrial walking-foot sewing machine" video that discusses this). You can do a LOT with a basic home sewing machine, and I would encourage you to start with whatever you have. When it doesn't work well, it will help you to understand what you need more of. Also, an industrial walking-foot machine does not excel at sewing very lightweight fabrics, so having a domestic machine around can help round out your capabilities (I like to sew lightweight hammocks as well as heavy nylon bags). If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me. Thanks for watching, and good luck on your upcoming projects!

Hey Jason, it looks like I'll need to make my own bag to fit my historical recurve bows. This video should be super helpful. Do you think it would be possible to sew canvas like this using a regular old sewing machine if I can find the right needle?
@thejasonofalltrades

Hi! My apologies for taking so long to reply! The needle is not the issue with sewing heavier materials. The rule of thumb for this, by the way, is choose the correct thread size for the fabric, then choose the correct needle size for that thread. So in this case I was using V69 thread, and I think a size 18 or so needle. The biggest difficulty in sewing thicker fabrics with a standard, non-walking-foot sewing machine is feeding. You can definitely sew thicker materials, it just gets more difficult at seams, corners and other areas where layers get thick. You may have to carefully help the machine through thicker areas, and you may need to hand-wheel across some places. You may break a few needles. My Singer 237 can sew this fabric (which is 1680 Denier ballistic nylon, pretty much as tough as it comes) just fine, but sewing a couple of layers together isn't the same as sewing a double-fold hem to a zipper, across a two-layer zipper tab. Again, it can be done, but it may be challenging. Go slow. I hope this helps, if you haven't already done the project lol! Incidentally, I occasionally shoot a recurve bow (it's the only bow I have). It's probably 1970s or 80s vintage, so maybe not historical lol, but it is fun to shoot! Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching!

Hi Jason, my sincerest condolences for you loss. Hope you are well settled in your new home. I must thank you for the channel, Ive learnt quite a bit. I am betting you to do how to/step by step on this topic. Ive been looking for months to purchase a rifle bag but just feel the costs are exuberant. Id love to make my own and would appreciate your guidance. Thanks once more. Keep it up

My condolences for your loss as well. In your videos I've notice that monster pair of scissors you use. I'm new to the craft, can you tell me what brand/model of scissors you recommend? Thank you.

Thanks so much for your kind thoughts! The giant shears you see are my prized Heinisch shears, circa pre-1914 (when Heinisch was bought by Wiss). I've recently started working for a marine canvas shop, and I bought a pair of Wiss W20 10" shears that I'm really enjoying. They were only $25 or so from Amazon. One of the guys at the shop has a pair of the wide blade version (W20W I think) that seem very nice, too. At home I usually use a pair of Fiskars I bought at Joanne Fabrics, and they work fine for most of what I do. There are some tricks you can do with the Wiss shears that might not work so well (I'm planning a "tips and tricks" video soon, so you'll just have to watch that to see what I mean!). Whatever scissor/shear you have, sharpness is important, so if you have a pair that aren't working well and have a way to sharpen them, you might try that. Thanks for you question, and thanks for watching!

This is 1680 denier ballistic nylon. 1000 denier Cordura or 1050 denier ballistic would be good alternatives. I hope that helps, thanks for watching!
