Reinforcing Straps with the "X" Stitch

***************************************

*A Tuesday Teaser*

************************

When adding a strap to a large bag,

the stitching starts under the bag on one side of the handle,

goes up to make the "X" as shown on the purple note,

and back down the other side to the bottom.

The rest of the handle is stitched as shown.

I used this method on the Song Book Bag shown last week.
