Not top stitching the lining fabric is such a game changer 😭🥳🥳 I have watched so many tutorials and you’re the first one to do it that way and it’s gonna make auch a difference. thanks!!
@AprilNY100 Жыл бұрын
Can I ask why it was a game changer? I’ve always top stitched my lining down and before I sew using this tutorial I’d like to know the benefit of not top stitching the liner? I always thought you were supposed to so it doesn’t get caught in the zipper.
@warialdasue Жыл бұрын
@@AprilNY100I’m wondering about that too
@seangrimes9986 Жыл бұрын
Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔
@tampabaylisa6151 Жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing, but now I can see that everything lines up better when the lining isn't included in that topstitching!

I appreciate your videos. I thank you for pressing the seams open during construction. It amazes me the number of videos (especially in bag making) that never press the seams. And, they don’t seem to realize how much better their product would be with this additional step. But to the trained and experienced eye it is so obvious.

I use double sided sewing tape like wondertape to hold the zipper for sewing. Eliminates the need for pins or clips and keeps the zipper in place nicely. This tape will disappear when you wash it.

So many craft/sewing tutorials waffle on and on before getting to the point. Your method was easy to follow along and the game changer for me was lining up the tabs a seam allowance width away from the side seams. My pouch with zipper tabs turned out even better than I had hoped. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for several pointers which will improve my zippered bags. For me, the most useful was not having the tabs go all the way to the sides. So that's how things get nice and squared up! Also, I acknowledge the nudge to press between steps, something I have been skipping (out of convenience or, I admit, laziness).

@ROMEKBNY3 жыл бұрын
I’m a bit lost on this part…so you should be stitching around the tabs? Toward the edge of the pouch? This is why the width of the pouch is not the same as the length of the zipper?
@mbmochinski2 жыл бұрын
Romasterflex your seam allowance should be such that you stitch right next to where the tabs end. You can make the seam allowance a bit smaller right there so you don't stitch over the tab.
