It took awhile to find this method, as most blogs show the easy way which unfortunately leaves exposed zipper tape in your lining. I appreciate you're clearly demonstrating this method, and showing the contrast with ordinary tutorials.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382649524468399557.post-69073460739187118452016-12-30T16:17:25.315-07:002016-12-30T16:17:25.315-07:00 Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!...

Yes, using the method described above - ...Hi Cindy! Yes, using the method described above - you can used fray Stop or Fray Check liquid on the corners, AND/OR first stitch on the ink line around the corners before you cut, just little stitches with your machine on the line that will prevent fraying. Another way to do this pocket would be a bit better, and I have taught this in my Craftsy class: cut a 2" wide facing strip, draw the box on the Wrong side of this strip, then pin the strip in place on the right side of bag section where it is to go. Stitch the facing in place by sewing around the outside edges of the box. You can then cut the center and triangles of the box and continue as instructed, but the edge will have been treated with a fabric facing and this will reduce frays!

I was really bummed to find that my purchased pattern from Noodlehead for her envelope clutch did not show me how to do it this professional way. Maybe she was just trying to keep it simple and assumed I could modify the installation to this method if I wanted to. But, I did not know how until now. Thanks! You are a blessing, as I want to make things as gifts and have them look nice with these professional touches.

Instead of fusing the interfacing to the lining as a first step, use a piece of fusible interfacing as if you were making a bound buttonhole, turn it through then iron it down.<br /><br />So put a strip of interfacing glue side up over the zip area. Do not iron it yet. Mark and cut as in step 2. Push it through the hole you've just made and then iron it down on the reverse of the lining. <br /><br />This keeps the tiny cut edges and particularly the little triangles neatly fused between the lining and the interfacing and you have a nice tidy slot to work with. <br /><br />Continue to attach the pocket as described.<br /><br />Thanks again for the tutorial and particularly the clear pictures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714466668821479607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382649524468399557.post-45836146793774355702012-05-08T17:45:12.249-06:002012-05-08T17:45:12.249-06:00Thank you, this is very inspiring.
