Remove hoop and spray right where the placement stitching is. Return hoop to machine.

STEP 2:
Place closed zipper FACE UP over the placement lines, so that the coil lies on top of the center line.

Also center the zipper in the hoop so that the metal pull and end lie outside the stitching area.

The zipper pull must be at the top and the end at the bottom of the hoop.

Stitch color 2, this will stitch the sipper in place.

STEP 3:
Place folded top piece(1.5×7.5) on top of the zipper to the left of zipper so that the fold is centered over coil(as shown in photo).
Secure with temporary spray if needed then stitch color 3.

STEP 4:
Place folded bottom piece(5×7.5) on top of zipper to the right of the zipper(as shown in the photo below) so fabric matches up with top piece.
