Step 10Finish edging tape.
Now continue with the edging tape around the rest of the file. As before place the tape over the edge of the cover and secure in place with paper clips.
Start where you left the tape at the end of step 8. Go up the back edge of the cover and along the side of the front flap. At the corner of the front flap miter the tape as neatly as possible, go along the front edge of the flap, turn the corner again, then along the side of the flap and down the back to meet with the beginning of the tape.
Machine stitch in place. This is easiest if it is down in two stages as there are places where it will be difficult to get the needle in place.
The first stage will be the first back edge. Stitch this from the top of the back with the divider inserts facing upwards and to the left of the needle. The outside cover will be facing downwards. As described in step 9 you will have to push the dividers out of the way so that you can get the needle in place. Stitch from the top of the back down the back and towards the base. You will find it impossible to stitch to the bottom. The missing part can be stitched by hand later.
The second stage will be from the top of the back where you began the first stage and will go the rest of the way around the file. Again stitch so that the outside of the cover is facing downwards. Then when you get around to the other back edge the inserts will be facing upwards and you can push them to the side to get the needle in.
As before you will not be able to stitch to the base. Go as far as you can and finish with 3 or 4 reverse stitches.
Cut the tape so that it overlaps the other end that is already fastened. If using thin bias binding you can fold the ends in for neatness. Otherwise dab clear nail varnish on the ends to prevent unraveling.
Using a strong needle and matching thread secure the end of the tape by hand. Push the needle through the cover and the tape on either side so that the tape is secured on both sides with the same stitch. Secure neatly.
Hand stitch the missing section at the other back corner in a similar way. HINT: Knitted tape makes it very easy to disguise these stitches.
