Make a zipper pouch - quickly - as you learn more about the Solaris 2 Embroidery Machine.

About the Class

Make a zipper pouch “in the hoop." Start with a piece of stabilizer loaded into the embroidery machine hoop, then layer the zipper, pouch front, back, and other pieces and - voila! - the quickest zipper pouch you ever made! 

When you finish, you’ll have the skills to make other “in the hoop” projects using files you purchase and download - from bags to holiday ornaments, stuffed toys, and more.
