Quilted Zipper Pouches in Mineral Linen
Quilted Zipper Pouches are one of our favorite projects because they’re fun and easy to make, but in the end, they turn out looking so clean and polished. They have a million uses, and in our shimmering Mineral Linen, they also look like a million bucks!
Something almost magical happens to Mineral Linen when it’s quilted. The puckering paired with the shine makes these Pouches really seem like they must have something very special inside!
To make your own collection of four Pouches, pick up our Mineral Linen Quilted Zipper Pouches Bundle. It includes Mineral Linen in four pretty colors, soft cotton batting, handsome chunky zippers, and all the thread you’ll need! -Molly

Thank you. I love these and will definitely be making mine soon
What is a walking foot?
Thank you,
Karen Hardy
Hi Karen-
A walking foot is a foot for your sewing machine used in quilting, it helps to pull multiple layers (backing, batting, and top) together at the same rate as you sew.
If you try quilting with a regular presser foot you will probably end up with puckers.
To find a walking foot for your machine just google your machine make and model and walking foot.
Thanks for your question. Let us know if you have any more!

Is there a foot I can substitute for the walking foot? I have the Baby Lock Molly sewing machine that does not have a walking foot.
Thx again, Karen
Hi Karen,
You really need a walking foot. If you use other feet the tension would be off, and the stitch length possibly varied.
I hope this helps,
Melissa
