Thank you for this! As someone else said, I was also finding out how to put a concealed (invisible) zip into a garment with French seams and this was such a clear video 🙏🏻
Instead of going up a waistband size for more seam allowance, why not just add the extra 3/8 inch (or whatever) to the seam allowance using paper and tape? That way there's no guessing how much you're adding. Really well done video. It definitely helps to watch someone do this for reference. Thank you!
You could totally do that, it would definitely be a better fit! I just wanted to let everyone know that for some reason the waistband hasn't worked out for me and it's always easier to cut off excess material than to start over if the band is too small. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
You input the zipper wrong. It’s supposed to be *invisible* and it is not. It can be seen the way you did it. Honestly, this was not helpful for learning how to do a French seam with an invisible zipper.
@@whatisheybailsdoing I sewed the zipper foot correctly. In the video I clearly stated I did not have an invisible zipper foot, so actually I think this information is incredibly helpful for those who don't have an invisible zipper foot, but want to get a similar finished look.
@@RandomBatHome No, you did not. And the presser foot has nothing to do with it. You are supposed to iron the zipper open first so that you can sew directly under the teeth, which will cause it to roll and become invisible. The zipper foot you used is the same one I have and I can still achieve the correct result. I’m speaking directly from knowledge that was learned in fashion design school.
@@whatisheybailsdoing awesome! I see you have your own RUclips channel, maybe you should focus on that instead of leaving negative comments on my channel. I get the occasional critical comment and they usually come from a place of sharing knowledge, but your comments are coming from a place of hate. Even if you sew an invisible zipper better than me, you are being a common internet troll, which is a very unfortunate way to treat people.
This was extremely helpful!! I was trying to figure out how to put an invisible zipper in while using French seams. Thank you so so much!
glad it helped! I struggled to find the information too, but once I actually made the French seam on the zipper, it made sense.
