Fitting an invisible zip by Debbie Shore

It's not as difficult as you may think to fit an invisible/concealed zip, this is an easy way to sew in the zip using the right zipper foot on your sewing machine. You'll see these kind of zips on dresses and skirts [actually, you shouldn't see them at all!]

Once again Debbie I have to say thank you for such a brilliant tutorial. I couldn't have done it without you.

You are a genius Debbie. Brilliant tutorial. I made 2 new cushion covers with invisible zips for myself today, they look very professional because of you. When I was finished I was so happy with them I made one of your biscornu cushions aswell. Thank you, thank you, thank you x

Thank you so much for making this video. I made an invisible zip years ago but I bought a dress from Dillards and the zip was broken. Well I finally fit into the dress and I find that the zip is broken. Took it out but need to place a new one in. Thanks to you I can do it now. Thanks again.

Thank you Debbie I put in my first concealed zip with your clear calm instructions. Only want to emphasise to the novice make sure you don't sew over the teeth like I did at one point had to unpick! However, end result very pleased.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Thank you Debbie always wanted to know how to do that, another great video to help us sew 😊🌻👍👍

So well explained and demonstrated, but on older machines the feet are so different.. they work just as well though...I was unsure of how to make the seam and the bottom of the zip join without a small gap... problem now solved thank you.

[@chrisg1761]

Thank you I have struggled with invisible zips but definitely going to give this a go.

4-8-17 To Debbie Shore My machine is a Kenmore. I'm using the Coats and Clark invisible foot.

[@debbieshore]

I have a feeling the foot doesn't fit, take a look here, www.kenmore.com/products?keywords=kenmore+sewing+machine these are Kenmore parts so your foot should look like one of these, they also have a customer care number on that site, looks like its in the US. Hope that helps!

Great video. But I've tried so many times to make covers with invisible zips. Every time it takes me 10 hours and I have to keep undoing the stitches because either I've not stitched close enough, or the covers are not aligned correctly, or something else has gone wrong. I keep persevering but I think I need to stop trying. I also don't understand how to finish off the zip after sewing the three sides together. I just find invisible zips so difficult and I've tried so many times and watched countless videos! :-(

[@chelennyalexandra]

Hello friend I wonder if you take measurements in inches?

[@sandrasandy5128]

4-1-17 To Debbie Shore I"m using a plastic invisible foot for a low shank machine. The problem is when I lower the pressure foot, the invisible foot doesn't lay flat on the plate. There is a space. When I sew the zipper the fabric isn't secure. What's wrong?

[@debbieshore]

What machine are you using? I've not heard of this before but I know most of the manufacturers so I'll try and find out, just checking, is it the right foot for the machine?

[@AliciaCatalina]

Thanks so much by the way what the second foot you used to finish the inadvisable zipper?

[@debbieshore]

Bertha Magana Just the standard foot from my sewing machine..
