Boot Stitches on “bone” piece

[ScottF]

Hello,

 

I didn’t stitch the two lines into the “bone” piece that goes over the seams. Boot tutorial says is optional. My sewing machine kept eating the vinyl when I tried to do it, so I’ve not added them at this point. I can still do it by hand if I really need them, but don’t want to ruin them at this stage if I don’t need to do it.

 

Thanks.

hello,

 

the CRL on the boots does not mention the stitching so, at this point the stitching is optional.

 

as far as your sewing machine eating the vinyl ...

that seems like you are using a thin vinyl and your machine needs a tension adjustment.

 

if you decide later you want the stitching, think about adding a backer to the vinyl your using or get a vinyl with a backing. i have sewn a few dog bones with thicker backed vinyl and i never had the machine eat them.

 

your boot look real good in the pic.

but, it does seem that it tapers out as its going to the top, just be careful the boot is not to wide around your leg at the top.

 

good luck!

Thanks for the info!

 

I didn’t have any trouble sewing the tops. For some reason the smaller pieces were getting stuck in the feed dog.

 

They go pretty straight up. Photo must me an odd angle.

 

I’ve really been taking my time with these, but something has gone awry pretty much every step—even if only minor issues.

 

These have been a bit of a pain! Will be glad to get them done for sure!

Just realized that I swapped my boot tops and the Velcro is backwards. The seam faces out. Is this going to keep me from getting approved?

For basic, likely no, but I'd check with your GML to make sure, since they'll be approving your initial application.

Thanks. As careful as I was trying to be I can’t believe I reversed them!

The stitching is getting added to the CRL very soon, just FYI
