I know you made this 8 years ago, but in case you’re still seeing comments, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!

Ignore the rude comments - they are just trolls looking for attention. All of us here to actually learn how to do this are very grateful for you intricate explanations. Thank you! I definitely want to try an invisible zipper now.

this was amazing. I paused, pinned, went back, rewatched, a number of times and came out with a lovely zipper. Could not have asked for a more clear tutorial

Love this video! Please don't take it down. Yes it's the best. How about that 6 years later and still the best.

This was the BEST invisible zipper tutorial. You not only teach exactly how to do it, you give so many nuggets on why and what could go wrong and how to correct it if it does. Thank you so much for all the detail in this!!

I wish I had seen this sooner. As with all your tutorials, it is clear and well-paced, following the training mantra: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them what you need to tell them, tell them what you've told them". You are a pleasure to watch, a pleasure to hear and a pleasure to be taught by. Thank you.

This is the best tutorial! I was worried about sewing an invisible zip and found a lot of the videos and tutorials confusing. This is clear, detailed and not rushed. My zip came out perfect!!

The best spent 43 minutes of my life - clear and patient explanation, contrasting colours, good light and clear camera angle all made this tutorial very easy to follow. No more wasted time unpicking and replacing zips for me - thankyou.

As a guy just getting started in sewing, thank you for the amazing clear direction and explanations.

I'm a beginner and self taught and this tutorial has helped me through two invisible zippers so far! I can imagine I'll keep coming back to watch it whenever I sew one until I feel comfortable with them, it's super helpful and everything is well explained. Such a lifesaver!

As a seamstress who has installed hundreds of invisible zippers, I can say this is an excellent tutorial for someone learning how to put one in. I don't know why, but I still get an amazing sense of satisfaction when I look at the finished install. They really are easier than regular zippers and you get such a professional look.

this tutorial was very refreshing, to hear a British voice not American was a joy, clear and concise instructions without the usual waffling on. I do hope you continue to make more tutorials on professional finishes Thank You xxx

INCREDIBLE video!! For those of us learning, know that we appreciate the clear detail you go into, it makes the sometimes complicated world of sewing far easier and more accessible. Thank you!

Beautiful, crystal clear video. All camera angles, lighting, contrasting colors, and placement of hands are well thought-out for maximum clarity.

You have the most amazing speaking voice that I have ever heard. I don't think I've ever had such a fabulous tutorial in my life. This is the best zip tutorial in all of You Tube. Thank you so so much for this wonderful instruction.

You are simply amazing - best teacher ever! I am in a foreign country where I cannot find sewing classes in English, at least not from anyone who is an expert. I so much appreciate your tutorials, in fact, I think your videos are better than anything I could get live. The pace if perfect for my level and I like the detailed explanations, which I find useful and NOT too wordy. You are so generous to do this for free. Thank you!

Watching this from thousands of miles away and I can imagine how amazing it would be to learn from you in person!! But the way you've made this video is so close to learning in person! One of the best online tutorials that I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

Wow!! You are an amazing KZfaq tutorialist. If they had annual awards you'd be a shoe-in. I've watched many sewing tutorials over the years, many very good, but you are amazing!! So thorough and clear. Thanks so much for your time. Much appreciated!

Zippers have already been a mystery to me. I've had several teachers try to explain it and they go over things so fast that I don't understand it, but in 42 minutes you took your time and not only did I sew (successfully) my first zipper, I did an invisible one!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I have taken a sewing course, saw endless videos and can say that this is the best tutorial by far. Zip came out perfect on the first go. Thank you!!!

the best tutorial of all i have seen on anything absolute treasure, crystal clear. thanks

At 62, I’m just learning to sew, and my first project is a dress with an invisible zipper. Out of many videos on this subject, yours is THE BEST!! I’m no longer scared to death that I’ll end up with a VISIBLE zipper!! LOL!!!

Thank you for this clearly explained tutorial. You are indeed the best zipper teacher.😅 I managed to sew my zipper beautifully just by following your clip and tips!! You do repeat steps and warn us of pitfalls, and all that help us beginners.

I find that Annieke's instructions are so clear. She is so precise and her intonation is so clear. Well done for a brilliant lesson which covers even the faults that can be made and how to recover from them. Thank you!

Great video! I've been sewing a lot of years and a great zipper install can not be rushed. Believe me when I tell you it sometimes takes longer than this to get a zipper right. I find your videos to be extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who need it.

You are an amazing teacher. I am so happy I found your videos on You Tube. I have never had formal instructions on how to sew and in watching your videos you have answered so many of my questions. Thank you and please continue to share your expertise.

I just sewed an invisible zip for my copen dress! The tutorials are very useful for a beginner like me. Thanks.

You couldn't have said it better, you're the best teacher I've ever came across, you're, you're number one, thanks very, very much for sharing, god bless you

Love this tutorial - it's so detailed, I feel like you are with me every time I put my invisible zipper on! Thanks so much for making this such a comprehensive video. I have sewed a number of invisible zips now and would have had no idea without your help!

Thank you for such a wonderfully detailed explanation on invisible zippers. All aspects and possible disasters were addressed so clearly. Feeling alot more confident now to tackle a new sewing technique.

I have been sewing for nearly 40 years but have never done an invisible zip. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of how to do it - I feel a lot more confident to try.

This is one of the most clear and clean invisible zip tutorial, no rush and very patient, thank you very much.

Absolutely loved this video. You were so precise, and the closeup views are so helpful. Thanks!!

I don’t even plan on sewing a zipper. The most i can do on a sewing machine is hem, but this video was explaining it so well that I couldn’t stop watching it. It didn’t even feel long at all. I actually enjoyed it because I felt like I was really learning something.

Thank you. after watching a bunch of 2 minute videos on putting in invisible zippers, I was confused to say the least. So glad I found your video. So clear, thank you. I watched, rewound and watched again, I still got the first side of the zip in the wrong way! NOT because of the video, my bad, fortunately I had hand basted because of needing to match seams. Whipped it out and did it again, had to do some adjustments so the seams would match but then perfect, I'm so pleased with the results. I don't have an invisible zipper foot, but I think I'll purchase one. Thank you again for such a clear and understandable video

This is THE best Invisible Zipper application video on KZfaq!!! Thanks MadeToSew! The camera work and audio are also highly professional!

I love it! Beneficial to us who didn't had a formal training❤️💚 looking forward for more tutorials. Thank you and may the Lord bless you as you help others❤️❤️❤️

I saw 4 other invisible zippers on KZfaq, this video is the best one. Thank you for using Metric as well, for us in Australia it helps so much- even though I've been sewing casually for 40 years. regards, from Brisbane Australia

واو، الفيديو له خمسة سنين وللحين ترد عالكومنتات! شيء رهيب it’s cool that you respond to the commente even after 5 years

FINALLY, a video where the person explains exactly what's going on

You have the most organized sewing room I've seen on KZfaq.

I finally sewed my first invisible zipper today! Great success. This is the only video where I had the “ah-ha” moment of “I can do this”. Thank you so much!

This was the best tutorial I have ever seen on how to put in an invisible zipper. I am so grateful to be able to find it. The instructions are clear and the photos are excellent. Totally easy to follow.

I found this extremely helpful because I was just struggling to put an invisible zipper on a dress I am making. I can't thank you enough for your help.

First time sewing an invisible zipper and with your tutorial it turned out amazing!

Excellent video! It's been ages since I have sewn anything and an invisible zipper was always a challenge. Her method makes it easier and I will no longer fear it. My daughter doesn't like most patterns on dresses out there so I have been recruited to sew a few. Beyond zippers I used to be very good. Now I am ready to get started again to custom make a few aline short sleeved dresses. Thank you so much! I appreciate your articulate instructions, great photography and thankfully no annoying background music to distract. A+++ video!

Thank you for the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever seen. Nothing else has been so clear.

Excellent tutorial. Easy to follow along. Accurate instructions and we'll taught. I searched many before finding this one and glad I took the time to keep looking. Thank you.🇬🇧

I've just sewn my first excellent invisible zip!!!! I found this so easily to follow and finally understand just what it is I'm doing. Thank you so much.

thank you so much for the clear instructions. I saved this for few years now to refer when i want.

This is the best explanation of how to sew an invisible zipper. I watched quite a few other videos but never understood how to align the zipper teeth with the sawing line. But with your video I finally got it! Thousand thanks for this great explanation!

You are great at these online tutorials , l have learned so many things from you, many thanks keep going we all appreciate you.❤

This is an amazing tutorial! Your explanations were so clear and even allowed a total newbie to understand how these zippers worked. I was able to sew a very nice invisible zipper in my prom dress thanks to you!

People who disliked this video (though I paid lakhs of rupees to learn this technique I dint get such a beautiful demo n explanation with such patience..) are truly jealous or may be they are unable to do so.. they are failures in general!! I wish I had found this video a couple of years ago ❤️ lots of love and keep teaching us ❤️ from India

I have just put in my first invisible zipper, using this tutorial. It s extremely helpful. The detailed explanation helps to keep me on track, as they tell me exactly what to look out for. I have used several of your videos and they have greatly contributed to my sewing experience. Keep it up.

Top notch tutorial with clear explanations including optional basting, tacking and machine feet, fantastic videography and additional tutorials for plaid fabrics. Daniel

Excellent Excellent Excellent. I have been a sewer since I was a child, but never quite mastered the invisible Zip... revelation.. Thank you x

Thank you so much.i followed the instructions and my zipper looks so professional. Thank you again. Keep up the good work.

I rewatched this as a reminder and I got it right without any faffing around..It felt goood! Please never take this video down

Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! My first zip ever is finished :D I managed to change a really badly inserted in-your-face zipper on an old dress made by my mom in the 70's or the 80's that I'm refashioning into a crop top + skirt set for myself. The whole thing being very far from perfect, and me a beginner at sewing, I can't say it went smoothly... but after a lot of measuring, unpicking and restitching the skirt got a beautiful invisible zip!

Hi, this is the first time I have put in an invisible zip and it went in perfectly due to watching your tutorial first. Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for this, and every other video you’ve made. I’ve just sewn my first invisible zip after watching this video, and it’s perfect. Thank you for your incredibly detailed, concise instruction.

I haven’t put in an invisible zipper in 20 years. I’ve ripped it out 8 times I think. I’ve been watching KZfaq tutorials, struggling for about 8 hours. Ready to give up and put a lapped zipper in, but I felt my daughter’s wedding dress deserved a invisible zipper. I walked away from it to clear my head. Then your tutorial came across. So I watched it. You are a born teacher! You not only explain clearly how to do it, but how it works and some things to expect. I feel very confident I can do this now. I think it will still be difficult because of the lining. But I think I can. I wish I had found yours first. I look forward to finding more things from you once these dresses for the wedding are out of the way. 😉 Thank you for teaching.

“Just be positive. You’re always learning”. This will now be my mantra! Thankyou so much for another great tutorial. Going to follow this step by step for my first zip today. 😊

I've never used a sewing machine before and now I'm sewing my first project thanks to your very helpful tutorial thank you so much

Aneka, you're such an amazing teacher, not everyone who can sew teaches sewing as well as you do! I really can't thank you enough for all your detailed tutorials; God bless 🙏🙏🙏

Your detailed instructions were GREAT! First zipper foot I've ever done and just followed you step by step sewing along the way to completion. My project came out fantastic!

Aneka, thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial which explains the process very clearly. Now I am ready to tackle putting the invisible zip in my cushion and watching this video has certainly helped to refresh my memory.

The BEST tutorial ever! THANK YOU! I finally learned how to insert an invisible zipper properly and easily.

This is the BEST video tutorial on this topic that I have found. And I LOVE your accent! So patient and clear with instructions as well as possible issues that are encountered with solutions. Simply amazing!

Thank you Aneka. Your tutorial was immensely helpful to me with some project I had. I watched it several times to get it right. One thing I didn't do which caused a problem later on was that I didn't watch the end part of the tutorial regarding how to finish the end of the zipper. It would have saved me huge headaches as I couldn't understand why the end part of the invisible zipper would be harder than the zipper itself. Now that I've watched again - to the end I know what to do and will do some practicing. Looking forward to more of your tutorials. I would love to take a certificate class from you if any are offered online. Many things you teach were not taught in my current course unfortunately. Thanks so much again.

I DID IT! I DID IT! THANKYOU! NEVER COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE!!! 🌺🌺🌺😊

Excellent tutorial. I'm about to put in my first invisible zip and this has been invaluable. Thank you so much.

You are such a very good teacher. Very detailed and even help troubleshooting. Thanks a lot.

What a lifesaver! This tutorial was so clear and clever. I had to do the 2nd side of the zip three times before I got it right, but loved the advice not to panic and it was 3rd time lucky when i flipped the fabric. Brilliant clear instructions and video. THANK YOU!

As always you’re the best Aneka!

Holy! I never imagined how complicated invisible zippers could be!

The most informative tutorial on invisible zippers on KZfaq 👍👍

I know this video is around 6 years old or so-but I want to say thank you very much! Your tutorial is extremely informative.

This is my always problem when sewing, always with the invisible zip, I hope I can do this perfectly after few practice like what you said. I just want a professional finish. As always thank you for sharing this video, I enjoyed learning.

Wish I could like it more than once. Wonderfully explained! thank you

This was a great tutorial! I am new to the world of non stretch sewing at age 64 and invisible zips are my nemesis. Thank you for your detailed video.

I followed your instructions today and inserted my first concealed zip. I actually found it easier than a normal zip. I am going to use concealed zips from now on. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this video! You explain everything so clearly, that even a beginner, like myself, can understand.

Thank-you so much. Your explanations helped me understand all the moving parts to place that invisible zipper.

The best teacher on you tube. Clear and precise instructions.well done.!!

This is the best tutorial for positioning an invisible zipper. It works like magic. I just tried it and the zipper looks professional. Thanks so much Aneka.

I love all of you're brilliant tutorials, so clear, thank you.

Excellent video. Very clear explanations. Thankyou so much

شكرا جزيلا لك, لقد جعلتي تركيب السَّحاب أمرا سهلا. Thank you so much you made zipper installation so easy.

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on inserting a concealed zip, it was most helpful. I have to adjust a bridesmaid dress my granddaughter is wearing (it was purchased abroad by the bride and is far too big) and it has a concealed zip which I will have to remove and insert again once I have taken the dress in and in all my years of sewing (54) I have never encountered a concealed zip! Or rather I think I may have steered clear of it. You explain it so thoroughly and clearly and the photography is wonderful. You have a real gift for properly explaining. Thank you so much for teaching an old dog a new trick.

This is awesome! I have followed your instructions and it actually worked!!! My zipper is perfect for the first time. Thanks so much! I wish you make more tutorials, they are so good :)

Thank you. Very informative lesson. I really understand now about “do and don’ts” re invisible zips. Good job.

Hi my friend.....I pray all is well....I always come back to you for my sewing directions 😊😊

I love it when you say "you would now be proud of how you matched you plaid / waist seams" because I am indeed very proud of how I matched my waist seams 😄. Truly a great tutorial!

Aneka, absolutely brilliant. Really very clear. Thank you for this.

So pleased to have found your site. Your video is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much. I look forward to following you on your other videos.

Thank you. A very detailed explanation. Cannot go wrong after this tutorial.

Great instruction. Between your video and another one online, I'm happy to say I mastered invisible zippers - sewing into pillow forms specifically. Your tips especially at the end about changing feet from the invisible zipper foot to the regular zipper foot to sew the very top and bottom of the zipper - excellent. I did that, I switch from the invisible zipper to the regular zipper foot then to my regular pressed foot to finish it off. I'm somewhat a perfectionist, and I have to say, thanks to your video instruction, they look spectacular. THANKS TO YOU!!!

Excellent video very informative, it is my first zip, i have purchased an invisible zipper foot, wish me luck. Thanks
