Oh my this pattern......

I've decided that I'm placing the handles about 1" down from the top of the tote. NOW......here is what the directions say: "Position the raw edges of the handles with the raw edges of the bag back/front. Aligning the outside edges of the handles with the outside edge of the pocket. Sew these in place using a 1/8" seam."

Ok--don't worry about the 1/8' as I'm sewing them an inch down.

I don't want the stitches of the attached handle to show on the front/back of the tote. Is there any reason why I can't attach the handles to the lining of the tote?

Thanks ladies.......
