Sewing Zippers 101: Fold Under Approach (Take 2!)

We received a great response from Part 1 of our Sewing Zippers 101 video series and wanted to fill everyone in on a few of our customer suggestions regarding the Fold Under Approach to installing a zipper. Instead of using double sided basting tape, sew the zipper down first before finishing with a second seam. The result is one hidden stitch and only one exposed stitch. Zippers and additional zipper how-to's can be found at www.sailrite.com

Thank you. All great ideas. I use small clips to hold zipper to fabric and remove as I approach the needle. 👍🏼

Use stapler to hold zipper like I do in Saudi Arabia

@conyermud1 3 года назад

Great video! Creepy foot never seen one move like that!! I have a pfaff 4.0 and sewed over thin zipper tape and my needle broke. What am I doing wrong?

Basting tape also acts as a water barrier doesn’t it? Makes sense to me to baste & double stitch

I love this way of adding in a zipper, can it be used also on dresses?

@Anne-zl8qb 8 лет назад

I used this method to sew a zip into our sail cover - but I pinned the zip to the fabric to do the first seam - I think you could also use small pieces of basting tape at the match up points to ensure the zip was in the right place - though I haven't used basting tape yet on anything.

+Anne Parker You are correct! We have a new basting tape that sticks to Sunbrella and many other fabrics that is now much thinner for zipper applications. You can order it here: www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-4-Basting-Tape-for-Canvas-50-Yds

I wanted to see how you add a zipper to a mattress cover without the plaque procedure.I can't find a video that shows it.I do mattress covers often but usually do it like regular cushions.I would like to add it to the corner instead ...like they do on a suitcase.

Can you show me how to sew fold under Zipper on a curve?

@SailriteDIY Год назад

Do you have an example photo of what that is? Send it to eric@sailrite.com

Would that be waterproof if it was up on a roof?

I was wr..wr..wr... WRONG! LOL. Great Vids! Thanks

@JuhaEerikki 5 лет назад

What stitch length did you use please?

@SailriteDIY 5 лет назад

When sewing canvas we try to use about a 6mm stitch length.

@JuhaEerikki 5 лет назад

Sailrite Thank you, the stitch looks so beautiful. I recently bought an old Husqvarna Viking 6440 and after some maintenance and learning I’m quite happy with it but it doesn’t have a walking foot and the LSZ-1 still remains my dream machine. :)
