Bev, it sounds good - but I don't know that much about zippers - so I am hoping you know what you are talking about - I need pictures to understand this sort of thing - Hehehe!

Yes, it is possible and relatively easy to do. But as bevintex says, only use ntlon zippers. You can't cut metal teeth and if the needle accidently comes in contact the needle will bend or break.

It can be done, but I'd advise using sewing thread in bobbin and needle when attaching the zipper as it is much stronger and the straight stitch won't cause problems.
I also recommend it for the outside seams of ITH softie toys.

Bev.....I bought a whole box of zippers at a garage sale with big intentions of using them on my knit bags (I have never used zippers always buttons) and I have sat on them over a year because I don't sew (we all know about my semester in jr. high), so I don't understand what you mean and I sure would like an easy way to use them....I read further down and I still don't get it....HELP!

I hope this explains it a bit better. You must have a design for a zipper bag. These are on sale now for a dollar. The instructions show you how to install the zipper to make your project. Instead of making the actual project get some fabric and put the zipper in the middle. Then go from there, turn it into a coin purse,a makeup bag etc. the design sews out a straight line that you line the zipper up on. Then your machine does all the work. Try it,let me know what you think! I have a design that calls for a 10 inch zipper but i can shorten it. Try it.
