I decided that I will make this Enigma and then get back to the Hackneys I planned and cut out. I am making amazing progress.<\/p>\n

\"Kabloom<\/a>

I have all of the pieces prepped, the bottom quilted, which you saw in the other post, and assembly is underway. The second time is almost always easier than the first.<\/p>\n

I remembered to put on my label this time, though this one will probably be for me and I don’t really need a label. I am trying to make it part of the process so each bag I make gets a label. I have a few more hours to make it a habit.<\/p>\n

\"Kabloom<\/a>
Kabloom Enigma bottom before binding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned before<\/a>, this bag design requires binding and Sara shows how to do it on the machine. I sewed the binding on by hand last time, but decided that I would do it by machine this time. I am pleased to tell you that it went well and it looks good.<\/p>\n

The bag looks like the photo above and on the right when it is ready to be bound. I had to keep the sides out of the way when I got to the binding part.<\/p>\n

\"Janome<\/a>
Janome foot F<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I changed feet and used the Janome foot F with the little red triangle and kept the left hand tip of the triangle right on the fold of the binding. My seam line looks pretty good. I didn’t really check the bottom because it doesn’t show when the bag is in use anyway.<\/p>\n

\"Kabloom<\/a>

After sewing, the inside of the bag looks like the photo on the right.<\/p>\n

The hardest part to sew past is where the zipper stops. You have to zip the zipper a little to keep it out of the way of the machine foot while keeping the bottom of the bag flat. It was a lot easier the second time, though still not 100% easy.<\/p>\n

A few more things to do, then I’ll be finished with this bag.<\/p>\n
