I think you should respond to all the people justly criticizing your video. I saw you asked one person what was wrong with the video but didn’t reply to them after they told you. Multiple people have mentioned the incorrect zipper technique shown but not one reply to them about it.. I’m glad I read the comments

Curtis Linden your comment is pretty unfair too. It’s nearly impossible to stay on top of the number of comments I get, especially with them not coming through as notifications. That said, having rewatched several times paying close attention to my instructions and confirming directly with Kyle from Ripstop By The Roll, my instructions here are correct when using a water proof zipper.

I’m sorry you felt my comment was unfair - I was just hoping to hear back about that particular matter since there was a lot of questions about it. I myself wondered if it was the correct way and checked all of the comments hoping to see you addressed it. I was just asking for myself and the rest of the commenters who didn’t get a reply due to lack of notifications. Thanks for addressing it. But I guess there is just a perspective difference from someone who is trying to learn versus the teacher making the video. I wasn’t the only confused one, for what it’s worth to you as a means to improve your videos. I appreciate them! Thanks

@BackcountryExposure I just got this kit and I also noticed that he zipper instructions at 2:21-2:38 says to have the zipper with the teeth down to the backside of the fabric yet when sewing at 3:19 the zipper is flipped over from what you said at 2:21. Your comment to @curtislinden9297 is what is unfair and you need to rewatch exactly what I & others have pointed because your video is not correct as pointed out by many others in the comments. I am just glad that I noticed the zipper was flipped or I would have sewn it backwards like many others did and pointed it out in the comments but you keep standing by the fact you are correct in comments when clearly your did flip them. It also has nothing to do with you sewing with the zipper down either and us confusing the instructions. When sewing you can clearly see the shiny waterproof side of the zipper is facing up against the backside of the fabric which is facing down and on top.. I do a lot of sewing and noticed the zipper orientation was incorrect at 2:21. You can even see at 3:55 that the original zipper orientation you described at 2:21 should have been shinny waterproof side down against the FRONTSIDE of the fabric as even mentioned & visible at 4:23. Any basic Zipper tutorial will tell you to place the zipper outside down on the good side of the fabric then when you flip the fabric for the finished edge hem it is correct.@ripstopbytheroll you need to clarify these instructions because many people in the comments followed these & sewed the zipper on backwards. Above I have explicitly pointed out the issues & the timestamps supporting the discussion that the zipper was flipped & instructed to be on the wrong side of the fabric. I appreciate the video but what I respect more is admitting the video is incorrect so people don't sew the pouch wrong. If I could attache photos I would show you exactly how the zipper should be placed using a printed Dynema kit so the front & backside of the fabric are very clear.

@MrSeanCochran 4 жыл бұрын

To those who didn't see the material order change (like myself), and sewed the zippers on the wrong side (both shiny sides up, teeth facing in): Just tightly fold over the zipper so the shiny side is touching the dull side of the material, and sew the length of it. Then, you can roll it back and hem as he describes at 3:50.

Yeah I just got “done” and realized that my zipper is on the wrong side of the fabric. Kind of upsetting that he made sure to show us what side was up at the beginning and then flip it without saying anything. Now my kit is wrong. My fault I guess for not watching closer.

@sharklishsanjose3098 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video..I think you are instructing the wrong side down though. If you follow these instructions your folded/second stitch for the zipper will have the hemmed side on the inside. I believe you need to have the right side up with the shiny/waterproof facing right side (so right sides together) with teeth facing in as you describe. Then when you sew the second line of stitching the right side is outside and the shiny side is up. right?

@BackcountryExposure 4 жыл бұрын

Sharklish San Jose start with right side (non coated) down and the coated side up. Teeth of zipper down and facing in. This makes it face the teeth of the zipper out and the second stitch hem away from the zipper teeth or on the non teeth side of the zipper. That way when you attach the zipper pull and turn the bag right side out it’s all in the right spot.

@curryalbino 4 жыл бұрын

The beginning is confusing because the talk about the "very important zipper orientation" is made while the zipper is *above* the the fabric, making the viewer (me, at any rate) think that that's how it should be assembled. But at ~ 3 minutes in, you'll see the zipper is *under* the fabric. That is the correct way to sew everything together--zipper orientation as described, fabric orientation as described, but layered so that the fabric is on top. That took a while to sort out; I can sympathize with frustrated viewers who were getting it wrong, and with Devin for wondering why people were confused. For total newbies like me, making these demonstrations using a patterned fabric that has a distinct front/reverse side would be awesome. Aside from that, very helpful video--thanks so much for putting it together!

The instructions seem right to me. I think you all are getting mixed up just because he flips "both" upside down to sew it, but if you set it up like he says it will come out the right way. he has the orientation right between the zipper and the fabric, you just need to pay a little better attention

@bendrixbailey1430 2 жыл бұрын

OK, so I had to watch another guy’s video to understand how the zipper and fabric are oriented for sewing. This guy makes it VERY confusing by placing the zipper on top of the shiny side while talking about the zipper orientation. The suddenly the zipper is under the material and he’s sewing. I useful step would have been to say.. The shiny side of the zipper should be facing the Outside of the fabric. The correct way to sew zippers is to put the zipper under the material. So before you sew, the teeth (dull side) of the zipper should be down. The Shiny side of the zipper (outside) should be up and touching the dull side of the fabric (the outside). The shiny side of the fabric should be facing up. That is for the firs stitch. A clear demonstration of the fold back before the second stitch would have been helpful. Truly, if the zipper orientation is the hardest part as the BE says, then there should be a bit more time and simple steps spent on it. This is not a great instructional video.

Sew a smaller piece down the middle. If the whole project is 14 x 14 sew a piece down the center say 8 x 14. That's about 3 inches away from each zipper half. Basically mark down the center of the 14 x 14 piece And down the center of the 8 x 14 piece, line em up and sew the 8 x 14 piece on the outside. Then sew along with the rest of the tutorial.

@huntercook6605 Жыл бұрын

OMFG you REALLY REALLY need to reshoot this and reexplain the zipper positioning. I get that it seems right in your head. But you *never* actually say that the zipper goes *under* the fabric in the orientation you describe. Worse yet, you *show* the zipper *on top* of the fabric while you are saying it. I had to read through the comments here and then rewatch the stitching and pause as it comes out to see that indeed you're sewing it right sides together. That's just really bad, and obviously lots of people are doing it wrong, including me. Now to go rip this stupid stitch and start over...

***READ THIS FIRST, THE FIRST STEP IS UNCLEAR*** He says with the wrong side up you place the zipper facing down and teeth toward the center of the fabric. But when he sews you'll notice its wrong side up (as he said) but the teeth are underneath the fabric. He forgot to say that the zipper does in fact face teeth down and inward but you place it UNDERNEATH the fabric, not on top. I, like many others, assumed he placed the zipper on top as he shows in the video and then flipped his assembly over for sewing. He doesn't, the zipper goes underneath instead of on top. @Backcountry Exposure this might not be confusing to you or RBTR but as a new sewer it's unclear. Please annotate your video everything else about your tutorial is great.

"Shiny side" and "wrong side" describe the coated side of the fabric. For zippers to work properly they have to be sewn face to face. Teeth up, against the edge, with the face of the fabric facing up. Shiny side up is wrong and when you get further on in the video it's possible to see that you didn't follow your advice either. Please remake and re-upload this video with revised zipper facing instructions. You may think what you say represents what you did, but along with several other commenters, I was mislead into punching a bunch of holes in fragile fabric only to find they wont even get to hold thread because I had to rip everything out and figure it out for myself. Your video is worse than unhelpful, it's destructive. Please do better

@BackcountryExposure 4 жыл бұрын

Tim Pierce good golly! When using a uretek water proof zipper that has the teeth of the zipper facing the inside the finished bag, you have to do things opposite of what you would do if you were using a standard zipper. I’ve gone back and watched this several times and even confirmed with Kyle from RSBTR that what I instruct here is correct.
