Step 13
Sew the zipper close to the zipper
prongs with a zipper foot and needle
position to the far left. This may vary by
machine so check your own settings.

Step 12
To baste the zipper in place and make
it super easy to sew, using FabricFuse,
place a thin line of glue along the top
right side of the pencil case as shown.
Place the right-side edge of the zipper
on top of the glue as shown matching
the ends and upper edge. Once the
zipper is down, let it dry for about 5
minutes (you can even use a blow dryer
to speed up the process).
Using a bead of FabricFuse for zipper basting is
an effective way to have it hold the zipper in place
so that the zipper can be sewn without moving.

Step 14
Roll up the bottom side of the pencil
case front, match and hand sew-baste
the other open zipper right side edge to
the right side of the pencil case fabric as
shown.
Note: The reason for hand sewn basting is,
this side will have more stress when trying
to sew it. It is difficult to hold in place with
pins or glue so sew-basting takes very little
time and insures accurately sewn results.

up the zipper and sew it

prepare it for machine sewing with a zipper foot
Step 15
Sew the other side of the zipper with
a zipper foot and sewing machine
as discussed in step 13. Once the zip
insertion is complete you can remove
the basting stitches easily by just
snipping them out.
TIP Move the zipper pull out of the way
as you sew, so that it does not distort
your sewing lines.
