Take the folded ribbon and place it across the placement line with the fold toward the inside of the pouch and the raw edges outside.Ībout ¼” of the ribbon should be to the outside. Placing the Ribbonįold the piece of ribbon in half if you haven’t already done it. This will stitch a short line across the open zipper teeth, which is the placement line for the ribbon. Put the hoop back on the machine and embroider the fifth step. The stitching will hold the open teeth pretty much in place, but you can put down a piece of tape to make sure. Before you stitch the next step, unzip the zipper so it’s mostly open, but the zipper pull is away from the edge of the stitching. Repeat the last few steps for the other front side. This will stitch down the fabric in a nice, neat rectangle. Put the hoop back on the machine and embroider the third step. Put some tape on there to hold it in place. Take one of the folded pieces of fabric and place it to the left side of the zipper with the folded edge right up against the zipper teeth. If the zipper pull is at the bottom like on mine, it will be the left side, and that’s how I’ll describe it going forward. It will stitch across the zipper at one end (that should be the end WITHOUT the zipper pull) and leave the other end open.Ĭheck your machine stitching order and the location of the needle as it prepares for the next stitch to make sure you know which side of the zipper is going to stitch next. Place the hoop onto the machine and embroider the second step. Put some tape on both ends to hold the zipper in place, keeping the tape toward the edges. Make sure the zipper is closed and the zipper pull is toward that closed end of the placement stitching. Center it in the hoop so the ends overlap. Next, you’ll align your zipper in between the long placement lines. On mine, it’s at the bottom, but if your stitching doesn’t match mine, just make sure you’re positioning in relation to the closed end and everything will work out! Placing the Zipper This is the end where you will place your zipper pull, and later your ribbon. Take a good look at the placement line and make a note of which end has the short stitched line. It will stitch a placement line on the stabilizer. Put the hoop on the machine and embroider the first step. It’s almost time to embroider! You’ll need something to embroider on, though, so hoop a piece of your tear-away stabilizer. It’s also a good idea to press your ribbon in half - it’s not vital, but it helps on a later step. Preparationīefore you start, fold two of the fabric squares in half with wrong sides together and press them well.
