"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel With Expert Village. In this clip we're going to be finishing it up our luggage tag. Once you stitched around the three edges you just want to go ahead and turn it inside out; just be kind of careful when turning inside out vinyl cause the vinyl has tendency to stick and kind of pull but you just want to do is just gently as possible. You also have the added bonus of having our little vinyl pocket over here to put business cards. If your fingers are not long enough to poke this out, you can always use a pencil so I just want to go and poke out the corners. That's looking pretty cool. Trim off any extra strings. Now what we need to do is stitch up the last bit and what we're going to do is actually fold this underneath we're going to be stitching this and we're just going to go ahead and stitch around the whole rested on the top. So you want to flatten this out as much as possible because you are using so much vinyl here. You don't want to iron it but if you do need to iron it you can always put a cloth over it and go ahead and press it. But we're just going to fold it in on top, folding the bottom make sure it's even and then just place a little pin to secure it. Make sure the corners are nice and even and once you have that done you are ready to go ahead and top stitch all the way around. When you are top stitching, you just want to be really careful. You want your stitching to look perfect because you are going to see it."
