Yes, I want you to zigzag first before seaming the ties together, because after having made about six of these, I've found it to be the easiest way!

This part is important-- remember the little funny diagonal seam that we pressed upwards before? Zigzag it.
(FIRST PICTURE)

Clip your end threads (it's just good loose thread hygiene, and is easier than trying to find them when you're done).

Now zigzag the raw edges of the tie, STARTING AT THE WIDE END, about half an inch below the end of the silky lining, or, in case it's coming loose (as it sometimes does) about half an inch below where it comes loose, but NOT below the widest point of the tie). When you get to the funny diagonal seam you just zigzagged, make sure it still points towards the narrow (cut) end of the tie!!!
