[@lindamcclellan8434]

Thank you for going slowly and thoroughly….I always have a hard time with zippers

[@JanHowell]

Glad it was helpful.

[@veevee111]

I love learning new ways to attach zippers. Hidden zippers are my forté

[@JanHowell]

😉

[@PeggyStrickler]

Wow! Simple and straight forward. Jan proceeds slowly enough thru the steps that it is easy to follow yet not so slow as to feel like forwarding thru anything. Great job.

[@JanHowell]

Thanks. You are so kind!

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

So happy to see you back. Missed your tutorials. Thanks.

[@JanHowell]

Yes, it's good to be back. I had to take a little break due to some health challenges.

[@missperfect2657]

Zippers by the yard is something I've not tried. I think it's adding the pull that intimidates me. Thank you for your videos

[@JanHowell]

You are so welcome

I’m so glad I found your channel! I just made your gathered half apron for a quick birthday gift for a friend! It turned out soooo cute! I loved your video…straight and to the point! Wonderful directions! Thank you! I’ll be watching all your videos to learn new tips and tricks all winter long!

[@JanHowell]

Thanks. You are so kind

[@KopeMamaKrafts]

Just found your KZbin page. Love your tutorial about the zippers. Going to try it.

[@JanHowell]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@conniehalloran5066]

Thanks for the tips ! So helpful

[@JanHowell]

No problem!

[@ChristineLusk]

Thank you so much for your great videos, I have watched three so far today and have subscribed. You explanations and steps are easy to follow and I appreciate you breaking down the skills in ways that I can understand. I am terrified of zippers and have never made anything with a zipper but now have more confidence and will practice using your steps so that I can make something with a zipper in the near future. You are a nature teacher as I have been trying to learn how to sew for many years now and have not made much headway so far. I have learned a lot so far from your videos. Thanks!

[@JanHowell]

Thanks for your kind words. You got this!

[@TinaHopson-cp5uz]

[@JanHowell]

You are so welcome.

[@mandiwolfe6631]

Zippers are so hard for me. This video makes it seem so simple. I'm going to make another attempt this week. I want to convert a hoodie sweatshirt into a zippered sweatshirt, but have not done well with my practice attempts on scrap fabrics.

[@JanHowell]

Glad it was helpful. Let me know how your project goes.

[@TheMoreYouSew]

I'm a beginner and this is so helpful! Thanks!

[@JanHowell]

You're so welcome!

[@debbiehall4155]

Thank you! I appreciate any zipper tips I can get.

[@JanHowell]

You are so welcome

[@peeshyholland433]

So glad to see you back. I always learn so much from you. I love the tricks for basic sewing. There’s no one in my town that really teaches sewing. Yes, there are classes but it’s mostly bring a project and sew with others.

[@JanHowell]

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I've had to take a little break due to some health challenges, but things are getting better. I'm glad you've found some helpful information here.

[@katinabotten]

Wow! Thank you! Your an awesome teacher

[@JanHowell]

Wow, thank you!

[@Joy-eq6qg]

Thanks for a great zipper demo. Would you consider installing an invisible zipper in your next how to video? That's what I have issue with😮

[@JanHowell]

I will put that on my list

[@Crazydoglady.]

I have been avoiding zippers for so long😂

[@JanHowell]

I hope this was helpful and you’re ready to do it. You got this!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you putting in these zippers. And what a great idea of using two different coloured zips, and I really really Love ❤️ this. Can I please ask, is that double sided tape just ordinary tape or does it have to be special tape for fabric? Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@JanHowell]

Thanks Mags. This double sided tape disappears after washing and is meant for fabric.

[@katinabotten]

Finally I understand

[@JanHowell]

awesome!

[@kayrush9834]

[@barbarajensen2865]

Does the needle get sticky with the tape?

[@JanHowell]

I havn't had an issue.

[@suebailey2974]

[@JanHowell]

[@RetiredAdventurers]

Is there a trick to putting the walmart zippers back together?

[@JanHowell]

I'm not sure I've tried the wal-mart brand. Have you tried a zipper jig? I really like this one. amzn.to/41dSo32

[@nicoles8176]

This is too much talking. Unnecessary

[@JanHowell]

Perhaps you are right.
