One of yesterdays frustrations is OVER. I watched a Youtube video and learned an easy way to insert my zipper. I got some INDEPENDENCE ;> Enjoy your day being CREATIVE/FAMILY/FIESTA/ETC

It is always interesting seeing how zips go in as there are so many ways
by mad14kt 04 Jul 2010
Yes, there are many ways. I can't remember the way I learned in fashion school ;D

It's several parts but this is the part that I usually got stuck at. I was sewing it from the wrong side and sometimes I had good results and sometimes I didn't. Now I am guaranteed FIESTA'S ;D *2U

Hmm. Helpful video. Guess I always used the instructions that came with the patterns I bought, or what they told us in 4H. Pretty much they would either turn out really well or really poorly and had to be redone. I think it was more a function of the fabric I was trying to put the zipper in, lighter weight fabrics were easier. ANy way you look at it, zippers can be a challenge.

Zippers are one of my weakness and it knows it's not my BFF, LOL ;> A friend of mines, doesn't like to do buttonholes. Another friend doesn't like changing the serger threads. I can imagine the list going on and on. However; I will have to endure unless I make anything without zippers and I can't picture that, LOL ;D *2U

Is You Tube a wonderful tool? I watch it for several different techniques (learning how to do them different and more efficient. )
