Thank you. after watching a bunch of 2 minute videos on putting in invisible zippers, I was confused to say the least. So glad I found your video. So clear, thank you. I watched, rewound and watched again, I still got the first side of the zip in the wrong way! NOT because of the video, my bad, fortunately I had hand basted because of needing to match seams. Whipped it out and did it again, had to do some adjustments so the seams would match but then perfect, I'm so pleased with the results. I don't have an invisible zipper foot, but I think I'll purchase one. Thank you again for such a clear and understandable video

I haven’t put in an invisible zipper in 20 years. I’ve ripped it out 8 times I think. I’ve been watching KZbin tutorials, struggling for about 8 hours. Ready to give up and put a lapped zipper in, but I felt my daughter’s wedding dress deserved a invisible zipper. I walked away from it to clear my head. Then your tutorial came across. So I watched it. You are a born teacher! You not only explain clearly how to do it, but how it works and some things to expect. I feel very confident I can do this now. I think it will still be difficult because of the lining. But I think I can. I wish I had found yours first. I look forward to finding more things from you once these dresses for the wedding are out of the way. 😉 Thank you for teaching.

One thing I didn't do which caused a problem later on was that I didn't watch the end part of the tutorial regarding how to finish the end of the zipper. It would have saved me huge headaches as I couldn't understand why the end part of the invisible zipper would be harder than the zipper itself. Now that I've watched again - to the end I know what to do and will do some practicing. Looking forward to more of your tutorials. I would love to take a certificate class from you if any are offered online. Many things you teach were not taught in my current course unfortunately. Thanks so much again.

Thank you for the tutorial. I wanted a throw pillow to be reversible, and so I ruled out an "envelope" close in back, deciding to have a zipper along the bottom edge instead. But I already had my heart set on (purchased) contrasting piping. Now I'm trying to decide a) if it's even possible to have the piping AND a zipper on the bottom edge, and 2), if so, whether it would be easier to use a regular *or* invisible zip (given that it wouldn't be showing, as in a garment. After watching the tutorial, I feel better qualified to figure this out! :D

Hi Stephanie, lovely to hear what you're making. You can do an invisible zipper and piping. It won't be completely invisible like a normal invisible zipper, but I think it looks better than a standard zipper. And the piping hides the zipper. On the side of the invisible zipper where you have piping you will need to use a normal zipper foot and sew as close to it as possible. Hope that helps.

I followed your instructions today and inserted my first concealed zip. I actually found it easier than a normal zip. I am going to use concealed zips from now on. Thank you so much.

I did it! I'm so proud of myself! I just started sewing a month ago (and not consistently). Thank you! Stitching that tail area is very tricky.

Thank you that is so kind of you. I am so pleased that I could help. I do my best to make as many tutorials as possible - there is never enough time in the day! I still teach in person classes most weeks, so I have to fit around these. I have some free dressmaking patterns I will be launching asap and this will come with LOTS of tutorials. Aneka :-))

I have finished my McCalls' skirt following your instructions. I would be very pleased with an outcome if it wouldn't be slightly too big for me in hip area. I measured myself and size 16 was exactly my size. the finished skirt however is too loose. As you said - they added 4 inches which really is too much. I wonder if I can do something now? I would hate to rework it since it is sewed so nicely :). But I suspect there is no other way?

Anna Olejnik Hi Anna, is it just the hip area? Is the waist ok? In that case it should be an easy fix. Decide how much you want to take in and where? Perhaps try the skirt on inside out and pin in new stitching lines around the hip. You want to do this to the side seams only. Make sure that both sides match and re sew the seam you have pinned. Check it is correct. If it is correct then you remove the original stitching and press the seam open. If you have lots of seam allowance now you might want to trim this off and finish it as you did before. Let me know how you get on. Thank you so much for following the tutorial, I do hope you liked it! Aneka x

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on inserting a concealed zip, it was most helpful. I have to adjust a bridesmaid dress my granddaughter is wearing (it was purchased abroad by the bride and is far too big) and it has a concealed zip which I will have to remove and insert again once I have taken the dress in and in all my years of sewing (54) I have never encountered a concealed zip! Or rather I think I may have steered clear of it. You explain it so thoroughly and clearly and the photography is wonderful. You have a real gift for properly explaining. Thank you so much for teaching an old dog a new trick.
