A few weeks ago I shared a post on Facebook asking, “What’s something another bag maker taught you, that you’ll never forget?”
And for me, it was how using a zip foot and stabiliser creates a perfect curve on a flap. Just like I show in this video.
The stabiliser gives your zip foot a perfect shape to follow, almost like a little wall for your presser foot to trace around. Because the zip foot traces around the shape of the stabiliser, then when you turn the flap out, the stabiliser is a perfect fit and your finished flap looks amazing, with a neater curve than most of us can sew without the stabiliser.
This is a tip I’ve never forgotten and still use regularly! Make sure to save so you don’t forget and share this tip with another bag maker!
