Preparation for both zippers. 1. Center one zipper on the 9” edge of

the 15” x 9” rectangle of outside fabric.

and the fabric meet at the pull tab end of the zipper.

10. Place the notched section under the presser foot. 11. Make certain that the zipper teeth are under the groove of the presser foot. 12. Hold on to the tape part of the zipper that extends behind the presser foot.

Begin serging slowly helping the “sandwich” get started if necessary. When the zipper moves easily under the presser foot it is OK to let go of holding the back of the zipper tape.

13. The serger knife will trim some of the zipper tape off. 14. When you reach the end of the fabric and before you get to the zipper

bottom stop, angle the zipper to the left and serge off.

15. Close the zipper and let the lining and outside show right side out. This makes it easier to line up the fabrics for the opposite side of the zipper.

16. Bring the bottom edge of the lining up to the

top edge of the zipper. The right side of the lining will be to the wrong side of the zipper.

17. Place the right side of the 5 ½“ x 9” rectangle

of outside fabric to the right side of the closed zipper’s top edge. The zipper will be sandwiched between the 2 fabrics.

33. Place a pin through the lining and outside fabric at the fold just above the

top zipper. Do this to both ends of the fold. This is done so you know where the fold is when the bag is turned lining side out.

34. Turn so the lining side is out. 35. Place the bag on a flat surface and

reposition the bag so the fold with the pins is at the top. Check to make sure both zippers are on the same side of the bag.
