Now fold the cover so that the cover goes around the divider insert at both the base and the back. This can be seen in the second and third pictures.

The 'flap' at the back of each side piece will now be secured to the wrong side of the cover back so that the flap and the cover are placed wrong sides together. See the pictures for this step for more details.

Secure the flap and cover together with clips as before.

Now sew the flap and cover together approximately 2mm (approximately 1/8 inch) from the edge. As with the front this stitching will be covered later with edging tape. When stitching have the inserts uppermost. To get the sewing machine foot and needle into the correct place you will have to push the inserts out of the way, that is towards the center of the file. Start stitching at the top of the file as there is more space here for the machine. Stitch towards the base.

Because the cover is now folded into its final position there is not much space towards the base and it will become increasingly hard to stitch. Stitch as far as you can, ending with 3 or 4 reverse stitches. The part that is not stitched will be finished in a later step by hand.

Do this for both left and right sides of the back.
