Is there any special stitch used when tacking the webbing, and is it possible to use kevlar thread for tacking with a regular sewing machine?
Per spec a bartack is used but most home sewers don’t have access to a bartack machine and just triple stitch it.
Kevlar thread is not needed and not recommended it will wreak havoc on your machine. Use bonded nylon for tactical gear.
I’m just a neebie getting started and am wondering where to get the binder attachment for my machine (Pfaff 145). I’m not coordinated enough or lack sufficient patient to bind without one. Thx-Dave
Thanks for the info. I just converted a cheap tac-vest with lots of useless pockets into a MOLLE system, I discoveres a couple tips that might help others doing the same.
1} Buy a $2 ‘china Marker’ I used white so it would show up on black webbing, mark the webbing every 1.5″ sow you know where to stitch. Wash your piece with your laundry and the china marker will come right out.
2} if you’re sewing on thin material use a thin bead of Elmer’s white glue too hold the strip of webbing in place, again the glue will come out in the wash!
