6 Let s get stitching! 1) Hoop your stabilizer. 2) Sew the first set of stitches to create placement lines for the zipper. If you are using heat away or water soluble topping you may have to float a piece of tearaway stabilizer underneath to start the stitching. (Shown in picture). 3) Center the zipper inside the placement lines. Make sure each end of the zipper extends at least 1 past the ends of the placement lines. Tape down the ends of the zipper, keeping tape outside the placement lines on both ends. You can also place tape on the top and bottom edges of the zipper tape to hold it more securely. Sew the next set of stitches to tack down the zipper. Remove all tape and carefully tearaway floating stabilizer, if used. Copyright Pickle Pie Designs 2013 Page 6

15 25) Cut two 2 lengths from the short strap you made earlier, or use two pieces of ribbon. Slide your D-rings, or other chosen rings through each 2 strap, then fold the straps in half. Place the folded straps over the placement lines. The raw edges of the straps should be outside the bag outline and the rings should be facing into the bag, as shown. Tape in place well. The tape can cover the placement lines, it will tear away easily. Make sure that the rings are facing the center of the case and are nowhere near the case outline - you do not want your machine to stitch over them! Place a piece of tape over the D-Rings to keep them in place. The long strap will be completed after you finish the bag on your embroidery machine. Stitch next set of stitches to tack down the straps. Copyright Pickle Pie Designs 2013 Page 15

Lay it over the project with the folded edge aligned over the zipper teeth, where shown. Tape in place along the edges. Copyright Pickle Pie Designs 2013 Page 16
