wider57 joint design moneykeeper

How to turn wider57 moneyholder into a money keeper

You need:

Wider5x7 design moneyholder and requested material Design can be found here
http://www.cuteembroidery.com/9129614_money-her-keyher-joint-design.html


Sewing machine or hand sewing for pockets
1 x 8” zipper with plastic teeth
fabric 1 x 6 x 5 (zipper pocket)
fabric 1 x 6 x 9 (cardholder)


place zipper face down on the right side of the 6” side of zipper piece and sew in place
turn the zipper facing you and lift the bottom of the 6” piece of fabric on top of zipper and sew
in place


now you have a tube – this method comes in handy in other projects too
turn tube right side out


iron tube with zipper in place, however you like it and what is practical to you or the gift
receiver (changing the opening the zipper for our left-handed friends?)
tack down sides left and right near end cut off excess zipper


zigzag fold the cardholder fabric on top of each other and sew down sides to tack. Use a credit
or debit card to check the depth of the pockets.


you have prepared the 2 inside pockets – congratulations! 8-)


on with the fun

load wider57 design from here http://www.cuteembroidery.com/9129614_money-her-keyherjoint-
design.html

stitch color 1 to 3 with only top fabric
remove hoop not fabric tape lining to back of hoop


stitch color 4

remove hoop not fabric. If you want to put on your snap here it is a good idea, just make sure
the snap is well out of the way of your embroidery foot.
tape pockets in place using color 4 lines as placement lines. For the zipper pocket, make sure it

is slightly over the placement line as it will be stitched down in the last color.
match card pocket to bottom of design so the satin can grip them.


Make sure you don’t move the pocket too far down or you’ll catch the first pocket into the
stitching.

The bottom of the zipper pocket will be stitched down in color 6, creating another pocket.


stitch color 5 making sure your embroidery foot does not get caught in the zipper or the folds for
the cards.
cut of excess
Stitch color 6

be careful to have the zipper tab out of the stich area and take care to watch your machine (and
yourself) when stitching the pockets and over the zipper teeth. If your machine is having
problems, stop the project rather than ruining something.

This worked for me and my machine with the original download from cute. For other designs or
measurements adapt and have fun.
