Been struggling to place a zipper pull on an upholstry zipper chain. Never done this before in 45 years of sewing / creating history. Your video gave my the confidence to get " the job done". Wish you could have seen the whooping & dancing. Thank you.
Your video was incredibly helpful and saved me the lengthy task of installing a new zipper (which I despise) on a pair of jeans. Luckily for me, the tooth that is missing is near the top so after manually engaging all teeth from the bottom up to the missing tooth (about an inch from top) I was able to get the zipper pull back on, then slid it down the entire length of the zipper. I then used a needle and thread to completely fill in (overly so, creating a bump-out) the space of missing tooth, thereby creating a block so the zipper pull will not go off-track again! Thank you for the close-ups shots for better visual understanding. You rock!
Fabulous, thank you Hyrum! I had a slider come off a zipper on a handbag and thought I would have to throw it out. But your video and zipper expertise helped me put it back on. Bag is good to go again! Thank you. Lisa
Thank you, your first 15 seconds were the most educating ones, I put mine on literally in 5 seconds after 😃 I was freaking out before. I'm a happy bunny now, thanks agsin. This is literally before I was taking an important flight
Everything made sense and worked for me right up to the very end. Can't figure out how to get the slider over the stops that are at the top of each row of teeth. This is on a hoodie so there isn't a lot of working room.
Thank you! I'm fixing a Marines pants that the zipper was put in wrong. I don't want to take them apart and this definitely makes me happy that I don't need to. Thanks again!
You mentioned that two way zippers have slightly different teeth and sliders, is it possible to turn a single zipper into a two way one i.e. for a jacket ?
I have 2 different garments with metal zippers. Both have missing teeth. How can I fix or replace the teeth or can I do something instead? Help please.
if your missing like 3-4 of the metal teeth on the main zipper and also the slider is missing, can the metal zipper be repaired or must the entire zipper be replaced in its entirety? I'm dealing with a vintage Leather motorcycle jacket here and all the pockets have metal zippers and there are sliders on both pockets that say YBS on them and I am not sure if its the same size as the main zipper on the center of jacket, because the slider is lost. Can anyone provide some direction or advice? Thanks !
If the zipper is for a jacket and the bottom portion, what we call the "pin and box" are damaged, there's not much more you can do to repair it. You'll have to replace the entire zipper as a whole to be able to the jacket again. Wish I had better news.
What video can I see where I'm just missing one tooth at the bottom of my jacket it's metal, it's a leather jacket. Its first tooth gone opposite of the zipper
you probably need the piece that it sides into to the zipper to start it. Or you need to remove one of the teeth from the other side of the zipper to make it even. It wont zip up evenly if not. There are also zipper stoppers. I needed the stopper part so I took it off and old jacket.
Help! tried hard but couldnt “button” the metal zipper on my bag where the zipper is open from end to end and both ends are separated. So i tried putting it in from the other side with open side of the zipper first but end up sliding the puller in without the zipper closing. How to solve this pls?
So i finally buttoned the zipper and put the slider in from the top but when i pull the slider back up the zipper still doesnt close. Does this mean the slider is broken?
I'm so happy with the kind of help with Utube, and it teaches me things. So I learn a a brunch of stuffs from this channel. Thank you to the folk who invented it.

Awesome video - just fixed the zip on my favourite backpack and will be careful to secure it!
Doesn't help if the zipper guard is there on both ends 😒
This saved me! Thank you so much!

Just saved a jacket thanks to this video!! Thank you I love zippers!
You mentioned that two way zippers have slightly different teeth and sliders, is it possible to turn a single zipper into a two way one i.e. for a jacket ?
Fixed my purse zipper thank you so much 🙏🏽
How do you fix the other side of a plastic zipper (stopper) ? The first teeth is missing on my sweater jacket?
Is it possible to make a two way zipper out of a zipper like this? I'm trying to convert my single zipper hoodie into a two-way zipper hoodie
Thank you! It wasn't easy closing all those teeth but it worked.
This is not professional easy way sorry
Thanks it's very helpful
I'm still having trouble understanding what to pull on and what the locking mechanism is.
Thanks, that fixed my 20 year old Barbour which I had been having to pull over my head for the last 2 years
Will this work for a couch cushion?
So how do you keep it from coming off the top
Lifesaver!
Ok......this video was helpful for my metal zipper
I have 2 different garments with metal zippers. Both have missing teeth. How can I fix or replace the teeth or can I do something instead? Help please.
Very nice video. I really enjoy watching these videos for future use.
Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it👍. All the best
Can you put a number 10 on a number eight zipper track?

Tryna fix the zipper on my bag but the teeth are messed up can you help
skip to 3:38 if you wanna cut to the chase
Helpful video thanks 💗💀
Sorry just noticed the the stopper on the bottom is ripped. Is there anyway to fix it ? It's my favorite hood . Thanks

I did it! Yay. Thanks you
Thank you thank you Thank you!!!
I can’t get the zipper to open once I’ve put it on
I LOVE THIS VIDEO 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much
I can fix my bag zipper with this video.
It's hard when the zipper is installed in bag but its worth.
Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I just bought this #10 brown zip, do I need t remove the tabs/ stops at the top of the zip?

Okay, going to go try it. Will let you know how it goes and how much cussing there is.
So, how much cussing was there? I have a 2 way to fix. SH*T.
The problem is that my zippers teeth are P shaped so i can’t manage to put them together :(
I️ have a backpack, I️ can’t just put the slider at the beginning
I really tried to put the teth together but No, no no it didnt go, my teeth shows the nose both side up.
got it thanks 😁😁
Unable to join zipper teeth by hand. Long silver zipper on sofa cushion. Tried several times. Theres no way. What are my options? Thx
Keep trying. Just put one tooth together at a time. It's not easy, but doable.
this isn't really much help at all to me because the type of zipper on this backpack you cannot in anyway button the zipper up.
Why explain how a zipper works????
How about how to discretely do it in an office?? FFS
i hate zippers
