I am so in love with these bags - they all look so incredible! I have inched on up to Step 4! I have the long line of ZP's and liners connected. Sally, I thought I might lose my mind on the first couple - but then it settled in and made more sense by the end.
A couple things that helped me:
1. As a garment sewist, I found the clips great to get things situated at first, but then I want my pins. So I used the pins in a way that I could go over them (gently and slowly) if I wanted to. My lining fabric kept wanting to crawl. Nothing major - but the pins helped control it.
2. I circled the key sections of the instructions so I could easily find them as I "rinsed and repeated" on each section.
3. Since I have several machines I kept one set up for just the top stitching.
I hope tomorrow to move on to the next steps.
