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.

Always just wondered how those work, now I know. Lady, you did a great presentation, no music, concise, right to the point and a good camera view. THANKS.

Omigod, the MUSIC!!! It has its place, adds to amusing videos, but on instructional ones it can be so distracting. Imagine if we were in some crafting/quilting class at a shop, and the teacher cranks up an annoying instrumental as soon as she starts talking! Gimme plainspeak any day, get to the point and don't rush through the demo. ZIPPER LADY does all the above without annoying me! ❤ It doesn't hurt my feelings that she has a pleasant speaking voice, too, with excellent diction.

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!

Just fixed a canopy party tent zipper using your video! It took a bit of "jiggling" as you said it would, but I just saved a lot of money on either replacing the zipper or replacing the tent side! This was wonderful!!! Thanks so much.

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.

Thanks for your video! I’ve seen a few videos that show how to use a fork and it never made any sense to me and didn’t work. Your video, however, shows exactly what you are doing in a beautiful close up, and it makes perfect sense to me now!!

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!

Very nice trick ! Thank you ! I do zipper head insertions without taking down the zipper on many tipes of clothing and bags, it can get very annoying and hard ! ..pays well because it-s cheaper than replacing the whole zipper. Your trick can prove useful sometimes!

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!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! 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. 😸

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

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! :)

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.
