To achieve this I use my cutting board as a dimension guide, and place the sewn tab end at 0″ and the second tab at the required 8-3/4″ mark. Then, mark the zipper at the point it needs to be trimmed so it will sit within the zipper tab sandwich, with a tiny bit of wiggle room. (Sorry, I didn’t photograph this step!) Fold the zipper tab in half widthwise with wrong sides together. Press. Unfold and then fold each short end in to the centre crease as shown. Fold in half again. Press. Make 2.

I like to see the accent colour of the zipper tape and find not having to move my needle more helpful when switching between feet. However, all sewing machines differ in the type of zipper foot they have and the finish they provide, so don’t hesitate to experiment with this step to see what works best for you.
