How to Use Zig Zag when Sewing Garment Bag

Video Transcript

"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. I have now cut out around the letters my letter D. I have 3 layers of interest on this trim. The top layer and then the blue layer and then a flowered bottom piece. I have cut around each of them and I'm going to apply it to the fabric. But first I want to zip zag around the edges to make the letters be sewn together. They would be one solid unit before I sew it onto the rest of the garment bag. So I would zig zag around each of the letters before i begin sewing it to the bag. I can start anywhere on the outside edge. I would begin right here. Then begin zig zagging, I want it to be a close stitch. You want to make sure that the edges do not start fraying up under there even with repeated washing. Let me adjust my settings here to make it a little bit tighter that should do it. So I'm going to sew all the way around the outside edge of each of the letters. Except for the outside on the outside one would be the same thing when we apply it to the garment bag. So that is how we zig zag over our letters to make sure that the letters do fasten there selves to the next one and we would apply them next to the garment bag in the next clip."
