TriFold Wallet 6x10 Hoop
Our ‘In the Hoop Trifold Wallet’ is made completely in your hoop, has slots for 4 credit cards and a fully lined zippered pocket for change, etc. It folds neatly and secures with a snap. The flap, inside zippered pocket and outside of the wallet are stippled quilted.
~~~~~ Note: Designer SE users make sure you’re using the 150x240 files 2 fabrics were used in our sample. Fabric 1 (main fabric ~ cream/gray/teal) was used for the outside and inside pieces. Fabric 2 (gray dot) was used for the credit card pockets and the lining for the zippered pocket. This design is not suited for directional fabric. We use spray (lightly) to secure all pieces unless noted otherwise. READ THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING The fabric pieces needed will be referred to by letters A ~ M These pieces are listed under Supplies Needed below in the order they are used in the design.

If you want to add an optional fabric loop to attach hardware and a strap, make the loop before starting. When flat it should be 3” long. Width depends on the hardware you’re using. The quilted flap and outside of the wallet has to be stitched first. Do not stitch the last step of this design. It is an X in the lower right corner. This step is here to keep the machine foot from returning to the center and possibly hitting the zipper pull.
