Zip-It-Up Collection

Everyone loves in-the-hoop bags. They’re fun and fast to stitch, and since the zipper is attached in the hoop, creating a zippered bag is super easy.   

The Zip It Up Collection includes three different bag styles: the front zip, the center zip and the top zip.  All three bag styles are offered in multiple sizes and variations and can be made with different types of materials and different sized zippers (size 3 or size 5 zipper).

In addition to the three different bag styles (center, front, top) the Zip It Up Collection also includes three different bag types: unlined, lined and accent, with additional choices by type.  Sounds like a lot of options, right?  Just think of the fun in stitching these variations. In total, there are over 400 different bag designs included in this collection for each zipper size.  Be warned, though.  Stitching these bags is addicting!

Minimum hoop size: 5x7

The Zip It Up Collection has embroidery designs in five different design categories.  Each of these categories has their own design folder in the download. 

Embroidery design categories:

1. Center zip designs (ZP3 and ZP5)
2. Front zip designs (ZP3 and ZP5)
3. Top zip designs (ZP3 and ZP5)
4. Quilted bag back designs
5. Bonus design(s):  Hug a Mug Center Zip Bag (size 3 or size 5 zipper and optional quilted bag back)

The bonus design is the totally adorable Hug A Mug, which is a center zip bag created for our Holiday in a Hurry: 2nd Edition Collection.   The Hug a Mug is a 5x7 center zip bag, featuring a fur accent along the center zipper. Two 5x7 Hug a Mug designs are included, one for each zipper size (3 and 5).  The 5x7 Quilted Bag Back is also included. The instructions and stitch sequence document for the Hug a Mug are in separate documents in the download.
