That third method is terrific!! I’ve never seen that before!!

[@SallieTomato]

Awesome to hear.

Your 2nd method is not the Butler method I’ve used, but it works!

[@YogaladyToronto]

The BUTLER method is well demonstrated by Amy Lynne Desighs.

[@SallieTomato]

Good to hear. Thank you

I have been struggling with zippers lately and this video cane out the perfect time! So excited to try these out! Thank you!

[@SallieTomato]

You are most welcome.

[@Vicapr]

What great ideas. I’ve done the Butler method, but as I’m sewing it onto the bag. This would be so much faster for me. Thank you for sharing!

We are glad you found it so helpful.

That was an awesome video. I struggle with these open ends and end up hand stitching/tacking to make them look better. But these methods just solved that problem. Thank you

Number 3 method: is unusual, How do those little diagonal seams look in a finished bag? Are they noticeable?

[@joycecrosby4000]

I have only used the second method. The other two are new to me. The third option seems easy to do.

[@SallieTomato]

Its great to learn something new.

[@teresaburnham6048]

Thank you for the great tutorial. Also, I LOVE your little vest. It looks to be hand crafted. Could you possibly share the pattern if there was one use? Thank you!

[@SallieTomato]

You are welcomeand thank you so much. It is a store bought vest,

[@digging4roots]

I started out doing zips like you’re showing, but lately I just pull out any extra teeth and add zip stoppers to top. So much easier and more professional results for me. Zipper kits are handy for so many repairs in my alterations business.

[@SallieTomato]
