Here's another question for you bag makers! I just finished the bag in the picture. OMG trying to sew the bag together and go over the zipper area was so hard! There are many layers of fabric and the bag exterior was quilted so even more layers. The fabric was as high as my presser foot, fully raised. I would take one stitch, move the fabric a bit myself, take another stitch etc. I don't think I got in nearly as many stitches as I probably should have. But how do you folks do this?? This must be a common issue.
Edited to add a picture of the completed bag. I've circled the spots where I had such a hard time sewing. The pattern I used also has those corners turned down, I guess that's how it's supposed to finish. So is it ok that there are less stitches in the turned down corners? Maybe they won't have any stress on them? IDK.
