You don’t explain where to stop once sewing zipper at the ends. I had an idea where, but for the new sewers step by step helps. I love your tutorials ❤️
This is the best tutorial. You are the first one to explain about the zipper foot and actually stating the fact that feet have to be switched out. I also appreciate that you show how to sew the pillow step by step.
I’ve been sewing (or really just playing with this sewing machine lol) for two years and you’ve just made me feel much more confident about trying my first zipper insertion! I’m so glad I found this channel. Your teaching style is easy to follow.
Best tutorial for this I've come across yet as I wanted to see the whole process including the use of the machine (and not everyone shows that bit.) Very informative and simple to follow for a total novice like me..thank you!
This is the easiest and best tutorial I have seen on how to insert a zipper! I will be trying it in the next few days as I sew a pillow cover for a birthday gift. Thank you so much!
This is a great tutorial! I absolutely love that you are so detailed and you SAY everything you're doing. It makes it so much easier to follow along. Keep doing what you're doing because it's really working. I appreciate that I don't have to read text over the video. And giving tips on what to avoid and why is so helpful! You are amazing. Thank you for all you share.
You're so sweet! And thorough. Really appreciate you pointing out all the small details that some might overlook. Appreciate your teaching! I've been intimidated by zippers since I learned to sew over a decade ago. But this Christmas, my son's getting pillows for his new home! Thank you
I'm new to sewing and have been using a machine for almost two weeks now. I really love your tutorials. You tell us the stitch length and everything we need to make sure it turns out perfect. Plus your camera angles are also great! Thank you :)
I have watched several videos to make a pillow cover with a zipper and yours is the best and easiest. My home ec teacher (1963-1967) would be amazed. I don't remember zippers were this easy back then. We only made clothing, but crafting is much more fun and not nearly as stressful.
Want to add my thanks -- a great tutorial. Instructive. Demonstrative. Clear. Complete. And you have a lovely calm manner. I have now made 5 pillowcases with this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh my gosh! I know this is an old video but this is the most genius way for a novice to do a zipper. My confidence just shot through the roof. Doh! BASTE IT. 😂
This was the first time I wanted to make something using a zipper without a pattern. I had only done a dress before, and had no idea when the right time to add the zipper would be! I learned so much more from this than I expected to. Thank you so much
Wonderful video! Last summer I brought home a little pillow project for camp. Now I have 2 weeks before I go back. This won't be difficult at all. YAY!
I have been searching all over RUclips for zipper tutorials because I have been trying to make scrunchies with zippers and your video was the best I have found! Thank you!! It has the same concept for what I needed.
What a great tutorial! I've never sewn a zipper before and I made a pillow case for my travel pillow and it turned out perfectly watching you step by step! Thank you so much for your expertise!
Thank you so much for making this video, I followed it to the T made two large dog beds with covers for my sister and I feel so empowered!! I appreciate you so much!
You just made me feel like I can do all those pillows I've been longing to make, only that attaching the zipper is so intimidating for me. Thank you so much!
I’ve been sewing since I was a kid, but never messed with zippers. This tutorial is far superior to any other I’ve found! Can be used to make zippered pouches as well, which I’m excited for. Thank you!!
Great video! I’ve been sewing a long time and have never seen a zipper installed this way, but it was perfect! I made a large floor pillow for my office - I work with kids.
Omg! Your explanations in this tutorial are on spot! No one ever told me that the needle had to remain down while ONLY the presser foot raised when you turned your work. My stitches have been off and slipping and it's been a nightmare. Thank you Soo much for your simple effective method! Also, you was totally awesome when you jus folded that pillow b4 putting it in. I woulda been struggling. Lol. God bless you! Going to be using 2 (Frozen themed), fat quarters to make my daughter a lil pillow an wanted to know how to put the zipper in. Never worked with zippers b4. Thank you again! An God bless!
Thank you for a very imformstive and beautifully skilled sewing process. Ive never sew a zipper and you made it so easy for a begiinner like me. Im not afraid anymore for tackling it head on....Much love all the way from South Africa Western Cape.
This is the best video I have found with the clearest explanation, and I’ve watched at least 5 of them before this one, plus several websites. Must be because you are a Newton and so am I. Ha! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. Your instructions were extremely easy to follow. I especially appreciated the info on the zipper foot. My pillows look amazing!
Nicely done video, very clear instructions and clear videotaping, that’s not always easy and it’s much appreciated! I just needed a refresher for adding a zipper. My husband has a channel, it’s a lot of work.
Wow....you have no idea how much you just taught me today, thank you , my cushions turned out amazing thanks to you, please keep doing what you do, thank you thank you thank you xxxx
Awesome good video. I’m putting a 30” zipper in a large (56” diameter) round pillow cover and this will really help. I’m going to practice with a short zipper on some junk fabric now. Thanks!
Hey Jann! I just love your videos. You explain a complicated process very simply, and you break it down so it's easy to follow. I am making a dog bed with a washable cover using this video (I was going to throw away my son's old egg-crate mattress topper but our dog claimed it). Also, I was thrilled to finally see a RUclips sewing tutorial person using the same machine I have...and not some $$$$ machine I can't afford. You are a lovely person. Thank you for teaching us!
Love your tutorial and your calm voice explaining in detail (which made it so easy) the zipper part. This was my first time sewing a zipper. Thank you 🙏 I wish I could show you my end result of a cushion cover I made. I love it! I also learnt that I could stitch on the outer and inner side of the zipper foot (for my next project ).
very easy to follow and clearly explained, this is a huge help. even if someone has no experience sewing you explained it well enough for a beginner but not so much that it's frustrating for someone more experienced
I agree that this is the best tutorial on putting a zipper into a pillowcase. It explains in more detail what each step should be. I've been searching for such a video because I'm making my own pillows due to the fact the store bought ones are all either too soft or too firm for me. Also, this method seems to make an invisible zipper for your pillows which is a wonderful "plus 👍." TYSM for sharing this video with us.
I do love your tutorial. I want to change our sleeping pillow rectangle size n I’ve found this. The best tutorial ❤️❤️. You explained and showed details and very close to the object. Thank you so much. Hello from Taiwan.
You're great in what you are doing. The universe will reward you for propagating so much creativity into the world. But for now...back to my first zipper. :-)
This video was perfect. I tried 2 others before coming across your tutorial and I am thrilled about how my pillow came out. I just started sewing and plan on watching all your videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions! Very much appreciated ….especially I’m going to attempt to sew my first zipper! I’ve been feeling intimidated so I stuck to envelope styles.
Thank you very much for teaching new techniques, while motivating me to start again sewing home decor accessories. Your detailed instructions and suggestions for tools for cutting and sewing are the best.
