Thank you for this, you have made it SO easy for me, wish I seen this years ago

Thank you my dear for that simple very easy break down compare to all other most complicated and incomprehensible video that made no sense. Lol. God bless you!

You have saved my life! You genius, once you know you know! Many thanks! Xxx

THIS HELPS A WHOLE LOT! I WAS GETTING SO FREAKIN FRUSTRATED THE FIRST TIME! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you so much I am a beginner saved me hours of tears and frustration.

5 years of struggling, and now I understand! Thank YOU!

I have been struggling with this zipper for 30 minutes. My back has never hurt so badly. My hands and fingers are raw. And after this long, arduous, harrowing 30 minutes of my life, I finally was able to get it down. My mouth was agape with shock, and I sat with my head in my hands for 5 straight minutes, re-evaluating my entire life. I have never lost so much. But I am happy that I am free because of you. Thank you.

I have been sitting here for over 30 minutes trying to get my zipper pull on. Thank you so so much for explaining the technique and making it so easy 😊

Oh my goodness! I LOVE YOU!! I was struggling to put the pulls per the other video and happened upon yours. I did it! I did it! I did it! Can you see me doing a happy dance? Thank you so much for posting this.

Super easy! Thank you soooo much, you've saved me. Glad i found your video

Thank you Zipper Lady! That was super easy!

YOU SAVED MY LIFE ive been trying for 2 hours and i couldn't do it oh my god

I do t know why but your way worked when all the other ways didn't. Thanks 😊 after half an hour if trying it all the other ways!!!!!

Glad I watched as I have been struggling trying to get a pull on for a pattern I am making. I will try this tomorrow when I have lessoned my frustration.

OMG I struggle with this for years, last night I tried to add a slider for hours with no success and after watching your video I just did it in a few minutes. So a BIG THANK YOU!

Thank you, Zipper Lady! It worked and now I can finish my skirt. Happy Labor Day.

Oh my gosh!! This is amazing! I can never get those darn pulls back on, and it worked so slick! The only extra thing I did was use some Fray Stop on the zipper ends, and press it with an iron to dry it so it was still flexible but wouldn't fray. First try, on goes the pull!! I'm so happy!! Thank you so much!

I've struggled so much with assembling big upholstery zippers and pulls but I just did one in less than 10 seconds. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thank you so much. I've wasted so much time figuring this out and your method helped me slip it right on. I'm so appreciative.

I loved watching your tutorial today. I needed a refreshing will more a get my juices going on this task today. I decided to reupholster a 22 year old neglected Class B+ RV. I mean I'm also redesigning and making what I would term improved designing to most of the cushions. I have two very small bolsters to do with no changes in design but with a zipper on the bottom. Then the FUN begins for 10 cushions. Two backs and 2 seat bench cushions for the dinette. These will require around 60 inches of zipper each because I will be making what I've been taught in the 70's as floating sides. With an extended zipper that wraps around the back side of each cushion and along each side but ducks so to speak behind the rest of the sides that then cover the zipper if you want to tuck a single or double in my case zipper pulls with charms on the pulls. So 4 down and 6 to go. The original sofa appeared to have 3 separated seats with a back and seat cushion however they were all connected in a very complex design that was just as complicated to hog ring the entire works once sewn to the metal frames. I took the seat apart and ok that'll work but the back of the seat not so easy peasy. Oh sure I have done similar and done well but there was a not of nagging going on in my id brain and telling me to step back and think it out there is a better way. And there was. I cut out two full covers that will wrap around each back and seat metal frame. Will use hog rings much like originals were wrapped to hold in place. I may sew the sides or go with hog rings not sure yet. Fabrics cut out. Then I will drape fit the covers onto their respective frames and mark at near the top a line to sew 1.5" matching color velcro loop across the entire length or roughly 6 feet across. Then towards the base of this back I will run a second row of velcro approx 2" above where the back seat cushions and the back cushions would meat. Next repeat for the much deeper seat cushions. I will reuse the back cushions and making new foam cores with polyester batting surrounding the foam for the seats which I felt the original foam had signs of breaking down and not firm supported any longer. So once the metal bases have their velcro sewn in place with a few vertical pieces to insure the cushions stay aligned properly too I will lay the covers for the cushions to match with the velcro and add the hook velcro to the cushions so they will mate just right and sew those in place. Once that's done I will sew up the previously made zipper sides and rest of the sides for the cushions and voila have a cushion that looks like a full replica with a lot of problems the previous design created fixed. For one I want to use my class B+ RV usually set up as 2 twins for sleeping. But want to hold the option to jack knife open the sofa and make a King size bed if for any reason that's required. And by going with 6 independent separate cushions on the sofa I can remove the back seat cushions which are 4" deep and open up the actual sleeping area by 4 full inches which may be far more comfortable for adults. And that alone is a huge improvement. The dinette cushions will also benefit because they will be able to be turned and used either side but the originals made of a single length of piece from back to front didn't allow for the flip because they pieced in about 1/3 of the back side with vinyl not the full fabric. And finally all 10 cushions using the wrap around zippers from across the back sides and wrapping around the fronts will allow me to skip the need for vacuuming the foam filling and all and to me is a huge plus. So back to making 12 double zippers. I started a week and half ago and made the first bolster zippers by the yard. Worked great using #5 coil. Cut out several lengths for the dinette cushions. And got the first pull on but something was off. I inspected what was the trouble and low and behold in all my more than 50 years of using zippers by the yard going back to 1972 I had a flawed roll of zipper tape. One side was only catching the coil now and again and most of the time the double rows of stitches you should see going down both sides of the coil tape from the middle if you flip the coil over to the back and inspect looking for those rows was missing and skipping. One side was just fine the entire length. There is no way I could repair this as it's part of the original manufacturing of the zipper done with specialized machines. So picking up the bolster zippers I'd just made sure enough every few inches there was a 1-3 inch length of uncaught coil on one side. It was a year since I ordered the tape so no way to return it. I quickly ordered from a different vendor two more rolls of zipper in same color range. Sadly the tape is a more perfect match but the silver teeth are not nearly as attractive as the first bad tape zipper was. It's a small thing and you bet I inspected every inch of the new zipper rolls and probably will do so going forward. I had bought a pink zipper tape at the same time I ordered the grey that was bad and I inspected it too. Live and learn. By the way if you luck out and get zippers by the yard with ends that start out with a helpful no coil or teeth on them by all means take advantage and load your zipper pulls onto the tape in advance of need. I usually load 4-10 zipper pulls and work them to the other end. This allows me to make head to head double pulls or even butt to butt options. And did I mention how much I love zippers by the yard. Go back to the 70's and we didn't have all these amazing color choices. I'm always collecting more. I also learn of course you can save pulls or mix and match pulls from like sized and type of zippers premade or otherwise. I often need zippers that separate and so buy much longer ones then cut to fit my project which leaves me with a wonderful piece large enough to do other projects later by adding zipper pulls. I have quite the stash of color and designs and embellishments for zipper pulls. Just have to keep them separated from tooth zippers and sizes of each. I almost exclusively stay with #5 coil but my husband likes tooth and he's gone as large as #12 YKK plastic tooth for some of his customized cases he makes and a day pack he made in 1972 and to this day still uses exclusively for hiking and carrying his camera gear too. The zipper still works fine and looks like new. The red coated pack cloth is in decent shape too which is surprising because it is coated and often the coating will break down over time. Quick note never use oxyclean or similar products like blended into some detergents on any coated or PVC fabrics. It will destroy and break them down. It ruined a 230 dollar jacket I adored once so I learned the hard way. To me the key to success of putting on pulls is practice. I also find it helps to firmly hold the ends down to a hard table top or counter surface at the back ends and use the other hand to pull the zipper pull onto the zipper. And some for some reason is easier than others. I use a lot of zippers head to head because I really like that option in a lot of my upholstery work and utilitarian bags I make. Good luck everyone and hope you find the joys of making your own zippers as much fun as I have...and today yes feeling a bit daunted. That's primarily due to the bad batch of pulls that knocked me off schedule almost 2 weeks ago. Great Video by the way one of the best.

I DID IT..... THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, I struggled because I didn't want to cut the one side. As soon as I did however it was quick as I viewed you in your video

Thanks, this is by FAR the easiest way! Frustration over.

I just can’t thank you enough for this video. I have been sewing for many, many years but never used zipper by the yard. I ordered my first tape from Amazon and low and behold no instructions!! I tried every way I knew with no luck. I went to KZfaq and watched video after video. No luck!! Using a fork and not using a fork!! I was about to give up and send my purchase back and decided to try one more video. You were the BOMB!! Thanks so much. Cutting one side shorter made all the difference in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Have a great day!! You have certainly made my day!

Like almost everyone commenting here, I struggled with trying to put on a zipper pull. I watched your video, and voila, I did it with no issues. I am not as speedy as you, but I can get it done. Like some of the commenters, I am older, and my fingers can hinder me a little. Just a random thought, but I honestly don't know how I accomplished anything before videos and creators like you who share creations, tips, tutorials, etc. Thank you.

My gosh! Indeed the easiest! Been struggling for years. Thank you!!!!!

Ah ha! I watched several videos yesterday with no success. Your demo is the best. Thanks.

This is soo much easier I have tried all the other way I watched on youtube this is the easiest way.

Thank you I was fighting to fix mine and I pick your video and there I go ready to fix my coustion covers. Bless u lady zipers

Thank you so much, I'd watched so many videos before finding yours that really didn't help but your method is sooo easy 👍🏻 no more stressful zip fiddling for me! X

Wow!!! I'm older and have stiff old uncooperative fingers. I had been working a zipper the way I had seen it done on other tutorials, no success at all. I picked up that same zipper and tried your way. AMAZING, it went on the very first try, now struggling at all. I even pulled it off several times and retried it. Worked every time. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH

Can I give you more than one thumbs up? I’ve been struggling with this process for a month. My wife said just KZfaq it. Hmmmm. That’s what I usually tell her. Thanks for ending the struggle!!

THANK YOU!!! Cutting one side just a little shorter makes all the difference!

Thank you so much Zipper Lady for taking the time to make such a detailled, step-by-step video! Thanks to you I was able to easily follow your instructions to successfully and easily replace my two "butt to butt" zipper pulls on my jacket. You rock!! Thanks again, Barbara

The Zipper Queen more like! Using your jiggling technique I manage to put pulls on coil with the ends equal length, I love your videos. Kind regards from Scotland David

I just wanna say thank you so much, i watched a million other videos and they all didn’t help and told me to do it really complex ways. You saved me thank you so much

Thank goodness for this video it clear easy to watch and yes I got my pull onto my zipper. My heart beats back to normal. Thank You

Wish I had seen this video before I sew coil zippers to my cushions. I struggled at putting the pull-head to the coil zipper. Thank you for very clear explanation.

You're my new best friend. Thanks so much for the BEST zipper pull repair every!!!!!

I just made a Christmas project and the end of the zipper was not secured properly - I thought I would have to spend hours of making it again but thought I'd try YouTubing before tossing it. Success! Thank you and happy holidays!

I just cut my zipper off with the zipper pull on the wrong side. I wanted to cry but I found your video and you saved the day. Thank you so much!! Zipper is fixed and I am able to continue my project. Thanks again!

Thank you sooo much!! I bought a huge zipper roll from you and zipper heads but didn't know how to attach them. Funny thing is, It's my first time doing this and im doing it on a huge project of curtains for my front porch. It's kind of like diving in the deep end your first time in the pool.!!! Wish me luck!!! (Ps, thank you for such great products at great prices as well as how-to videos. You're simply awesome!!!)

Leather guy here really good stuff this should really help thanks

Thank you so much...this is so much easier than anything else I've tried!!! So glad I ordered the extra zipper pulls for all the zippers I've been cutting to size.

Thank you for this tutorial! I almost gave up on doing it by myself.

Thank you so much! I started with the V thing. I can see this will be so much better.

Thank you. It was not as easy as it looked in the video but using your instructions I finally got it on. Thanks a Bunch !

i was looking for the back to back installation of gliders and THANKS YOU for making this video. i did front to front on my own but wasnt sure if the back to back was the same procedure.... it wa tough/ fiddly on smell zipper but i managed it . thanks once again xxxxx

oh man.... i wished i saw this video sooner!! i couldnt figure out why i couldnt even get my old childhood back packs zipper fixed when did get to finally get new slider and it isnt working... now i know why =T^T= now i gotta wait till next month get new one for this since was hard find one for type needed

Oh my Gosh! thank you so much! after hours of fighting this zipper...your video helped me to put both ends on in 2 minutes!

Will have to give this a go on my daughters school skirt. As the zipper head pull broke, which means she can't pull the zipper up or down. I can't even just replace the pull as where it's meant to go is what is broken. So, a very big thank you for sharing this tip as it means I will save money, as I no longer need to buy a new uniform skirt for now.

oh my god thank you so much! I've been trying for EVER to figure this out and it took me not even 10 seconds to do it watching this video. thank. you thank you thank you!!!
