    I've sewn for years and always avoided zips, but this method has shown how easy it can be! Thank you Eric and Sailrite 😃

    I am really thankful that i found this video. It was one of the clearer and understandable videos about zipper installation i've found on youtube and how-tos. Plenty of others seem to start off "quite clear and understandable" and soon trails off for more experienced ears. Gotta get me this machine as well.

    Great application. I’ve obviously been putting in zippers the “hard” way with mediocre results. If only we were taught properly the first time, the headaches we could save ourselves. Kudos. Can’t imagine how simple your method is for inserting invisible zippers.

      @@SailriteDIY This is perfect for my ski covers at www.epicskibike.com/ski-covers.html I've just switched to #8 coil zipper tape as it is a bit beefier for the application.

    Wow this is a great video. Thank you. One thing I didn’t hear was you talking about the how some zippers have an inside and an outside. After sewing a few zippers in the wrong way it’s something I always keep track of.

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  2 года назад

      If it is a "Vislon" zipper both sides can be used. If it is a "coil" zipper then yes, you have to be concerned about which side is up.

    • @TheJudeJane
      @TheJudeJane 3 года назад

      It is called a walking foot because it walks on the fabric. You can order one online, but you need to inform the seller of your brand of sewing machine and the model number because they are manufactured for both the industrial as well as domestic machines. That is why you must be specific when ordering to ensure you will be receiving the correct one for your particular machine.😊🧵

  • @thankyoujesus2836
    @thankyoujesus2836 4 года назад

    Yes this also works if you have a shorter zipper than your fabric is wide, go ahead and sew the two pieces together like he shows in the beginning, but only cut the length of the zipper you need, even a little shorter than your zipper is. I flat ironed it to make it easier to sew. Proceed as shown, but sew all around the zipper. Keep the guide on the zipper from the get go. And voila. Rip it open from the other side and there you go. Oh and make sure when you sew the zipper in, the zipper needs to be facing down.

    Hi. I'm really glad that I have came across your videos. They've really made sewing seem simple. I have been so intimidated by sewing for a long time, but I've always wanted to learn how. You really do a good job with explaining every step. I have a question I'm interested in learning how to sew the zippers that show on the outside. You know how they're making things nowadays. You may seem them like that on shirts and dresses with the zipper showing? Would you just face zipper up instead of down?

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  9 лет назад

      Thanks for the positive comments! If you want the zipper to be exposed you would sew it on one side at a time. Still create a hem on the fabric, but then lay the half of the zipper over the hem so the teeth of the zipper are exposed or right up against the folded hem. Then sew it down and repeat the process for the opposite side.

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  7 лет назад

      Here we are using a V-69 Polyester thread. For outdoor applications you can use a Polyester thread or a PTFE (lifetime guarantee thread) like Profilen. However, a PTFE thread is expensive. Most outdoor projects like bags, tents and more use a Polyester thread.
