The directions say to stitch the the part of the loop <em>not<\/em> attached to the bag with 4 lines before attaching it to the bag. This meant that I had to calculate exactly where the loop hit the bag, thus there was a bit of pfaffing around with my hand in the loop and trying to mark where I thought the loop would end.<\/p>\n<p>Note: if you make the loop the size indicated in the pattern, there is no pfaffing around.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the loop is stitched to the bag using the four lines again. I think it is pretty secure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62101\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62101\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-62101\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cal Piebald - interior\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/20240318_110615_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 85vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62101\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cal Piebald &#8211; interior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I think the lining matches really well.
