I have tried this 2 or 3 times now. I don't understand why it is curling up on me. Is it because I may have my stitches too tight?
Or is this what it does until I put it together?
Well I was going to post a picture but don't know how with the new forum. Sorry.

I am using a metal zipper with cotton fabric. It has a ripple effect. A couple people said that I needed a heavier fabric and they didn't think my stitches were tight. What do you think? Can I use cotton fabric with a metal zipper?

And also the purse I am making is with cotton. When they told me that I needed heavier fabric I bought some twill fabric. One of them told me if I were to use the cotton to use some interfacing with it.

In addition to what's suggested, sometimes if you reverse the layers (i.e. sew opposite layer on top) that works. Or stretch the cotton slightly while sewing so it matches the twill tape of the zip
