    Well, I learned some lessons today on the machines. I made a denim nightstalker sporran rip-off.

    Lesson 1: When working with denim, go ahead and serge all the edges almost immediatly after cutting. I use the zig zag stich on the Kenmore for that. Otherwise your 1/4" of seam allowance dissinigrates quickly.

    Lesson 2: put the whole thing together and leave the tops open and add the pads AFTER assembly. Then sew them closed, add bias or binding tape, then add back belt loop.

    Oh well, just means I get to make another one.
