Does anybody know of generic belt loop makers for the BL CS? My dealer's brand accessories were priced $79 and $99, depending on width. I don't want to spend that much.
I checked Sharp Sewing/e-bay guy, but a search only brought up belt loop makers for sewing machines.

It seems the belt loop foot for my Elna is also expensive. I checked at SewingSupplyWharehouse and it was $74.99 and it is just a bit of plastic (but it does a great job) where some of the larger metal feet are priced at only around $25. I'm glad that I do have several different feet for my coverlock that I can use for belt loops though because I cannot see paying so much to make a belt loop. A friend gave me a set of 3 metal Pfaff coverlock feet for a birthday a few years back that she paid around $82 for on sale. I have always wanted the belt loop foot but the set of feet that I have are mutli purpose and I can make them do for the belt loops for now.
I hope you can find one at a good price.

I don't have belt loop maker so I make mine by cutting a strip from fabric about 1 1/4 and press it so the edges meet on back. Then I sew it on coverstitch catching raw edges and let my seem look like edgestitching on front. It should finish about 3/8. If I had folder I would use this method to keep from setting folder up unless I had several belt loops to make.

Though he labels them as for sewing machines, they are the correct attachments for standalone coverstitch machines too. Click on one and read the description.

If you ever have any questions about the 'Sharp Sewing/e-bay guy' merchandise just ask them. Sometimes it may take a day or so for response but they are very helpful. They also carry a lot of things that aren't listed on ebay...just ask. I received a large order from them today in fact. It had several items that they have but weren't listed. They carry a lot of home machine parts too. A great company! I paid for my order Saturday morning and it came Tuesday morning!

Double thanks, Debbie.
First for pointing out that this is the right foot. I bought one and experienced a major "What????" moment when it arrived. How was that going to fit?
So this is the second thanks, for your coverstitch tutorial where you explain cum photo how it works. I should be good to go now.
