Thank you. I have followed your directions and I am very happy with how my zipper looks on a tweed skirt I am making. I now feel confident about zippers, whereas before, I used to dread it.

Ahhh, I hate putting in zippers. I always tried to avoid it when and where ever I could by using elastic in the waist but after having watched your video I want to give it another try. Thank you for the demonstration.

That was awesome! I've been teaching myself how to sew since late November, and thanks to this tutorial I've finally successfully put in a zipper. I'm so pleased - thank you!

after viewing many zipper videos, yours was the only one that made it look so simple! Thank you!

Why would anyone dislike this tutorial?? Super helpful and clear!!! Thanks a lot!

I’m a novice and about to put in my first zipper in my first skirt. This is the tutorial I’ve been searching for. I totally understand the task at hand. I’ve been stalling but now I have the confidence to give it a go. Thanks! ❤️

I love how clear you explain everything, step by step, not leaving anything out. A lot of tutorials can learn something from you!

Great camera work. Nice and close, good lighting, easy to see. And as usual, perfect instruction - remembering all the details that those who have no clue how to sew in a zipper could possibly need to know. What machine are you using here? Basting stitches look nice and long. Thanks.

I wish I had watched this video before I made my dress! It would've been so much easier to put the zipper in first....

Ahhh, finally an easy to understand tutorial on inserting a zipper. Yes, I have been intimidated - but I feel more confident now! Thank you

Thankyou for a well spoken & easy to follow tutorial about the stress free of putting a zipper in. I rewatched & rewatched each step & …… ta da…. I have sewn a zipper in !!!!! I’m very happy sewer Thanks 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

This is a great tutorial. I don't always find tutorials that lay out the steps in a simple manner. Showing the fabric and zipper laid out flat between steps is much more effective, and you have your camera set up nicely. My instinct was to baste stitch everything before sewing the visible stitches, but naturally I had to make things harder than they should be, haha. Now I know I was doing it right the first time.

Very helpful! I was so frustrated and confused on how to apply the zipper but this is a great help! Thank you!

Thank you for this excellent easy to follow tutorial on putting in a zipper. The steps are explained and illustrated very well and makes it super easy to follow. A professional look is the end result. I have added this to my personal library of videos and I will be referring to it again and again.

I bought a beautiful dress on vacation thousands and thousands of miles away from home at a super chic and expensive boutique. It fit like a glove. Before walking to the register I grabbed the same dress off the rack and put the one I tried on in its place because I noticed some fraying at the bottom. Well….when I got it home and was ready to wear it the zipper wouldn’t zip up. I tried and tried until I got frustrated and took it off to inspect the zipper. It was completely broken! So in now have this $90 dress that I haven’t worn because in need to replace it. Can you do a video of how to replace a zipper? A LONG one? lol. Possibly on satin🤓 that would be awesome. You get to the point and are a great teacher! The best by far on KZfaq ☺️

Excellent tutorial...you are truly the OG of sewing tutorials on YT.

Thank you so much ❤ I have a huge difficulty to fix a zip to my skirt. But now I know it clearly. Your technique is so clear and easy. Thanks a million ❤❤❤

I am new to sewing and this video was amazing for exemplifying many of the skills I'm currently learning. Thanks!

so clear and precise, love this video! you've elevated many peoples zip related stress aha. thank you

You are a godsend. Thank you for these thorough and well-filmed instructions!

Thank you for this tutorial. I took textiles at school and I never got taught how to put in a zip. I'm making a skirt so it needs a zip so this is really useful and looks really simple :)

Finally! The perfect video about it! Thank you!!

Mind = blown. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to add a zip, now everything's going to get a zip!

Thank you! Love the contrasting color idea and this process made my zipper look fantastic!!!!

Outstanding. I watched your entire video without sound. It was so well done, I'm confident anyone hearing impaired will learn on first attempt. Good work.

Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for this. I couldn't find a tutorial where the two joining sides were already baste stitched together until I found this!!!

I used this technique to put a back center zipper into a dress, and it worked great. Thanks so much for the clear instructions. (The nail polish is great, too!)

Thank you for this video! It is such a lifesaver. Every time I’m sewing a zipper onto a skirt I look up this video, watch it and pause it as I go.

What a perfectly concise and easy to follow tutorial! Thank you ✨

I have only been willing to work with stretch material because of my fear of zippers. This video is the BEST! I installed my first zipper today! I watched several other videos and yours was the ONLY one I understood. Thanks again. Zippers are now my friend!

You explained this with amazing detail. Thank you so much 😊

Very clear and makes it look so simple! I can't wait to do my first zipper!!

Love all your videos. They are my go to when sewing or thinking and planning sewing😀

Super helpful, i was struggling before to put in zippers and now, it kinda looks professional. So THANK YOU

Wish I saw this before I finished a skirt I made for a costume! Oh well, great instructions and can't wait to make another skirt and try this out. :)

the best tutorial I have ever seen thank you so much

Sooooo helpful. I don't even have to bother with invisible zipper. Thank you for this wonderful and brilliant tut.

Thank you so much! I followed your instructions while I put the zipper in my skirt and it turned out great!

Great tutorial! It's easy to follow and helped me so much. Thank you.

This video is awesome!! I just made my first skirt and was able to put the zipper in all by myself thanks to your tutorial!!! :D Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Super easy step by step directions!

THANK YOU!! Super easy and helpful. I was very panicked before. Hopefully this will work all right for sewing through two layers of fabric!! ;D

Professor Pincushion, you are awesome !! Your instruction is very clear/helps a lot for installing a zipper which is the hard part that I have a hard time to install to a skirt or a slack. You have a beautiful hands/nails; I like your hand. Thanks you.

Omg, thank you. This video is awesome, both your clear instructions and excellent camera work. I am making my first ever garment and I effed up the zipper BAD. (Who the expletive writes those pattern instructions? They are literally the farthest thing from helpful!) I’m trying again using your method.

Great explanation, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Thank you for making this easy for a beginner!

Thanks for making it sound so easy! I needed an easy to understand tutorial so that I can finish my ankle length skirt that has a zipper on the side instead of the back. :)

Thanks! Your videos are very very helpful!

quick question...do you serge/overlock the edges? i do love your videos. thank you for taking the time to do them:)

Anyone else in love with her nails? lol (Sorry, I love the tutorial, but those nails look amazing~)

OMG i was dreading doing a zipper but this video was amazing!!! I will be subscribing !!! Clear & explained very well!!!

I could not figure out how to use that zipper foot but your tutorial taught me because we have the same zipper foot so thanks so much.

Great video and a great zipper technique. I had been struggling to put in zippers but this was very easy. Thank you!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I have used it about every time I put in a zipper that has to be like this!

Awesome.. clarity.. explanation, lighting.... speed of instructions..... thank you so much!

Thankyou so much. Your tutorial helped me stitch the zipper all by myself.. Simple and nice explanation :)

I just did it ! Thank you so much, you were right it was intimidating at first

Thank you so much for this great tutorial!

this method is a lot more meticulous and lengthy, but SO worth it for those pieces you want to wear, let's say, out into the light of day and not just at home! THANK YOU! this certainly takes a lot of the fear associated with these types of sewing maneuvers out of the equation...at least for me :)

Thanks 😊...it's been so helpful

I wouldn't have put a zipper in my pillow cushion cover if I hadn't seen this video. Thank you! I remember in sewing class eons ago, we used a long piece of tape to use as a guide of where to sew around the zipper. Less to rip out.

You're amazing, thank you so much!

Wow, thank you for the tutorial helped me a lot ;)

This is so helpful & well made - thank you! I'm a total novice, so I apologize if this is an ignorant question. I totally get why that first basting stitch to hold the two pieces of fabric is necessary. Why do we need the orange basting stitch on the zipper prior to doing the final stitch?

This is so helpful thank you 🙏🏽😍

Thank you. I wish I knew this process earlier.

Thanks u make my day so easy it is my first day to put the zipper

This was so helpful I always struggle with zips

Well explained. Thanks!

this was really helpful! thank you

Thank you for sharing. Also, you have nice hands and nails :D

Thank you so much for this tutorial !!!

Hi,professor pincushion can you please show me how to sew buttons on the side of a top like half way through

thank you! great tutorial...I used to sew standard zippers like invisible ones or in other ways and and it always turned out veeery problematic...

Love your help.

is this for an invisble or older type of zip (mine is older type)?

I learnt a lot🎉

great job!

Why were the 2nd basting stitches (orange) necessary? After the first set of basting couldn't those have been actual stitches?

Thank you for your clear instructions! Now I’m not afraid of sewing in a zipper 😅

Thank you very much !

thanks :D very helpful

Thank you! I hate the zipper part but this helps with my anxiety around it 😄

THANK YOU GREAT I LIKE IT

Thank you.

Thank youuuuu🥰
