Thank you so much - have always struggled with invisible zips, so much so I avoided doing them but today I have successfully put in a 22" zip in a toile for my Mother-of -the-Bride outfit for which I've bought the most beautiful gold and purple brocade. Now I won't be worried about ruining it and running out of fabric! So well explained and easy to follow
Thank you Rachel, especially the tip for getting the zip aligned with the waistband on both sides. Brilliant tutorial. I use a concealed zipper foot but you are right, you don’t need one. I do think a concealed zip is far easier than a regular zip and folk should not be afraid!
Ok so I have huge issues with this and have watched most tutorials, this is by far the easiest and simplest ones to follow… I will be practicing this weekend watching this a few more times I’m sure 😊 x
This is a brilliant explanation of Sewing in an invisible zip. I avoid putting in zips as they always go in wrong. Will save this and give it another go. Thank you
This is just the best I've seen on youtube. You have covered everything, especially the finishing of the bottom of the zip. This bit I always struggle with, particularly getting a nice finish like you have done. All done without a concealed zip foot too 👍👍
Perfect!!! Thank you so much. You demonstrated this technique very clearly. Even though I’ve been sewing for many many years I learned something new today! I never based my zipper in before which I will be doing from now on. I’m looking forward to learning how you do your techniques! 👗🪡🧵🥰
Wonderful! This video is so very clear, you explain it and execute it so neatly. My invisible zips could be a bit neater, so I’ll do it your way next time, Thank You ❤
Another superb tutorial Rachel. Once again, really clearly and simply explained. My invisible zip insertion can be a bit hit and miss but your method is so straightforward. I think it’s an absolute winner. Thank you Rachel 😊 x
Thanks heaps Rachel, I have been sewing for a few years and am still not confident sewing in an invisible zip. You're instructions make it feel like it's something I could tackle now!
Fantastic tutorial Rachel, well done. I’m really enjoying these tutorials, you show every step so clearly and your explanations are also clear and precise. Keep them coming!😊
Thank you Rachel. Just brilliant again. Really loving these new tutorials and very much appreciate the close ups and clear camera work. Can’t wait to try this out. 😊
I've sewn invisible zips before and have had reasonable results. But you have explained it so well that I've picked up a few tips to make them even better. The way you explain the technique is brilliant. Thank you x
I was just about to insert an invisible zip Rachel when I saw you had uploaded your video. I'm so glad I watched it this is a fabulous demonstration!!! Thank you & happy sewing x
Brilliant, I was inserting a zip last weekend after a g&t and sewed by finger OUCH!! I can see me coming back to this video again and again, thank you x
This is the first tutorial that I’ve seen with just a standard zipper foot - yessss! It’s something that I should eventually buy, but in Australia you don’t get much change from $100.00 for an invisible zipper foot for my brand of sewing machine… Thank you Rachel❤
Such a great tutorial Racheal. Explained so well and love the close up shots. This has really helped me understand he process better, thank you. Look forward to next weeks vlog. 🤗🤗🤗
and another great demonstration. My pocket in jumpsuit that i did last week following your method turned out AMAZING. I always tend to ignore patterns which have an invisible zipper, no more. Thank you
Rachel, that was truly brilliant! Ten days ago I struggled with inserting an invisible zipper in a dress I made to wear to a wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed the construction process until I got to that zipper. Decided that was my last ever zipper. Let’s just say it turned out okay, but just partially invisible. After your tutorial I am now going to create an example to have for future reference. Thank you so so much for this series. Have a cup of coffee on me!💗
Have seen some finish the rest of the seam just a smidge out from the invisible zipper seam. Going to try your way and hope for no bump. Lynne from California
We love your teaching style Rachel because you don’t preach, just teach which we are so grateful for ,thank you
You are my new favorite sewing teacher! I have been watching invisible zip videos all day, and finally after watching yours, I believe I can do it!
Brilliantly explained Rachel. Everyone should be able to do perfect zips following your tutorial. I love the fact you used an ordinary zipper foot. ❤
It’s as simple as that?!!! Now I know! Thank you Rachel 🐾🐾
Thank you so much - have always struggled with invisible zips, so much so I avoided doing them but today I have successfully put in a 22" zip in a toile for my Mother-of -the-Bride outfit for which I've bought the most beautiful gold and purple brocade. Now I won't be worried about ruining it and running out of fabric! So well explained and easy to follow
I’m going to a zip workshop this afternoon. I hope they make it look as easy as you do. I’ve saved this video just in case! Thank you
Thanks Rachel, that was really useful, very well explained and very clear to see what was happening.

Beautifully demonstrated and explained! Great tip for lining up the centre of the zip. I have just subscribed. Thanks Rachel .❤
Wow that was so clear,i will be watching again when i come to insert one,thank you Rachel.🤩
Most excellent instructions. Dare I mention fly zips? That would be a good one as I think it's the bit that puts most off making garments with them.
This is just the best I've seen on youtube. You have covered everything, especially the finishing of the bottom of the zip. This bit I always struggle with, particularly getting a nice finish like you have done. All done without a concealed zip foot too 👍👍
This is incredible feedback thank you so much x
