Saddle stitching a zipper

Recommended Posts

I've saddle stitched a few zippers in veg tan. Now this is the 2nd attempt at putting this zipper in and looks like crap! I've undone the stitches and redone them with a cross over ( don't recall the term for that). My personal wallet zipper was my 1st and it turned out really nice. I can't repeat that. Frustrated!!

How does everyone saddle stitch a zipper?

Your stitch-line holes look wavy and the thread looks rather large.  Look at the next two holes from the left of the stitching--they're higher then they go back down.  I stitch zippers the same way.

Looks better after tapped down. Top side will actually be hidden from another part of the wallet where the scratch line is.
