1. Webbing Handle should be cut 1-1.5 inches longer
2. Box stitching 1 inch box starting 2 inches from each end of handle.
3. Double slide zipper, detach the metal stop at the top/beginning don’t cut it off. Leave the bottom stop on. Slide off 1 pull. Zipper then will lie flat during entire install.
4. Sew inside facing on after sewn handle. As long as the handle is 1inch wide and you sew the facing no more than 1/8 inch from edge, it goes on perfect.
5. when sewing inside facing, don’t sew it all the way up to top. Wait until zipper is completely sewn in, then finish stitching it up, that will cover the ends of zipper, and prevent zipper pull from falling off. At bottom of this facing keep zipper ends away from facing. Sew zipper ends just to the 11 ¼ inch line. I think that is in the instructions.
6. sew in bias binding as instructed.
Here are some good videos tutorial that are useful too:

2. An other customer had an issue too and Annie replied:
We hope it helps
I’m not figuring out how to cut this very directional fabric & be able to make everything fit. I’ve done many by Annie bags, but this kit seems to be a fat quarter short of the dragon your feet & oopsie daisy. Please advise.
