- Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. Preparation of leaves
The leaflet is cut 2.5–3.0 cm wide when finished and is necessarily duplicated with a thin knitted interlining to ensure clarity of the geometry of the ribs.
2. Sewing in a zipper
The zipper is stitched to the inner fold of the leaf, protecting the contents of the pocket from falling out when moving.
3. Cutting a pocket
The shelf slot is cut strictly between the stitching lines, the corners are notched to the ends of the lines at an angle of 45° at a distance of 1 mm from the knot.
4. Burlap pocket
The upper burlap is cut from a thin welt, and the lower one is cut from the main footer, providing an aesthetic appearance when the zipper is open.
Advice to the master
