Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special zipper foot?

Yes — a zipper foot lets you sew close to the zipper teeth. Most machines come with one. For metal zippers, use a zipper foot and move slowly through the pull.

What is a boxed corner?

Boxed corners create a flat bottom on the pouch so it stands up. You sew across the corner triangle and trim it — no gusset pieces needed. 1-inch corners give a 2-inch-wide base.
