Step 8Place edging tape on front of cover.
Take the edging tape. This tape folds in half so that one half sits on one side of an edge and he other half on the other side. One single row of stitching can secure the tae on both sides.
Starting at the left hand side of the file place the tape around the edge of the cover and secure in place with the usual clips.
The exact starting point will be the back left hand corner of the base of the file. Continue forwards to cover the edge of the cover along the base at the left hand side, up the front of the cover on the left hand side, along the top, down the front of the cover on the right hand side and then along the base at the right hand side. Finish at the back right hand corner of the base but DO NOT cut the tape. The rest of the length will be fixed in a later step. See the first picture for more details.
Where the divider insert is sewn to the front flap the tape will cover the stitching already here. At the corners miter the tape as neatly as possible. I used a knitted tape that just stretched at the corner but if you are using cotton bias tape you might like to iron a miter in place.
Now machine sew approximately 3mm (approximately just over 1/8 inch) from the edge so that the tape is fastened to the edge of the cover at both the front and back. Stitch 3 or 4 back stitches at the beginning and end to secure the thread.
