    You know, there's a lot going wrong in this world, and a sizable amount of it on this website, but this dad who's just trying to fix his son's pajamas is monumentally grateful that there is such a person as the zipper lady who knows all the tricks to zippering and then puts videos of it out for the world to see when they need to fix their son's pajamas.

    I was on a deadline making a bag and in the middle of the project the zipper came off the tape.Tried for a long time to get it on but it wasn't happening. I ordered a zipper jig online - when it arrived it was the wrong size. Saw this video and got my fork and clamp and voila' - my zipper is back on the tape! THANK YOU so much for making and posting this video- it was extremely helpful!

    I worked in a store that sold zipper by the yard and I never got a zipper pull onto a zipper tape as fast as you in the 6 years I was there. I would have killed to be able to do this as easily. I loved your tips and THANK YOU.

    I was struggling to put the pull on the zipper tape...and was having a horrible time with the head wiggling all over...and then I found your video showing your trick with the fork...and it solved my problem!!! I was able to finish my project that I wasn't sure I'd be able to until I found your secret! Thank you so much!

    A quote I'll never forget for magically fixing zippers is "give it a little jiggle" - worked like a charm! Thank you Zipper Lady!

    Many many years ago I saw your video. I remembered I had this zipper roll I bought at the Pacific International Quilt Show in my bottom drawer. I could never figure out how to attach the darn pulls so there it sat for years. Your video fixed all that. Works like a charm. My mother-in-law gave me her mother's silver set and has beautiful salad forks. That's what I use. Thank you again

    Thank you so much! My backpack that I've been carrying for almost 5 years now and the zipper broke, I thought I would have to buy a new one because looking on RUclips I couldn't find anybody that helped me with the problem I had, until I saw this video, and it worked perfectly! now I can keep my backpack and use it like always.

    Great Video. Thank you. Last week I saw a similar video with the fork and clamp, but your explanation of where the tines actually slot in on the zipper slide is the first time I’ve seen that explained, so it makes sense why my technique wasn’t successful as the fork I was using definitely do not conform as you explained! Thank you.

    This has got to be the tip of the century! thank you so much zipper lady - I already had "the tummy" and I was so happy to find a 3 tine fork in my drawer. It didn't take me long to put all my zipper pulls onto my continuous tape and I am truly away laughing. Thanks again!

    Oh Thank you so much. Your fork and wiggly method saved my day and my backpack. Fixed and jiffy, caveat: I inserted the zipper head upside down, and now, zipper slides down and closes, this is great also, works!

    I came over to thank you for this video! I bought a greenhouse with a plastic cover. The zipper completely separated, and because of the size of the greenhouse, a replacement cover isn't available. I was able to put it back together and then I superglued the top so it doesn't come apart again. Thanks! :)

    Oh ZipperLady, you explained this so well, SO glad I found your videos. I'm replacing the pull for a 220" zipper on a mattress topper cover, and I didn't think i would be able to pull it off, was looking at replacement covers that cost 5X what the foam topper did (eons ago). Now all I have to do is apply what you demo'd to my situation.
    Now to set aside time to view AAALLLLLLL Zipper Lady Videos. 😸

    I can't believe your fork trick works!!! Thank you so much! Had to bend a fork to get to three tines, but it works. I was struggling with getting one side on and then not getting the other on! Reading to take it to a repair place to have it fixed. Success!
