matcanada Report post Posted July 6, 2024 (edited) Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure this problem out for a while without success. I make pencil cases which have a zipper which wrap all the way around (similar to the pictures below), so that they can lay flat once unzipped. I have a block template that I use to wrap the zipper around the outer leather to line it up perfectly while I'm gluing it in place. The issue is that I then struggle to line up the inner lining with the outer leather as the zipper obscures the edge of the outer leather. With hand stitching, I would simply punch holes in both the outer leather and the lining, and then use some needles to line the sides up. With a machine, this is not possible. How do you all line up the outer leather with the lining if machine stitching? Thanks in advance. Edited July 6, 2024 by matcanada Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
