Installing a Curved Zipper in a Vinyl Window

[@kirsten07734]

Your videos are always the best! I appreciate all the work you put into editing, narrating, filming, and planning to make the production value and instruction so excellent.

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad you like them. Thanks for the kind comments!!!!

[@fryloc359]

I've been binge watching your videos in an effort to have some knowledge to replace the canvas on my popup camper. I'm right down the road in Fort Wayne so if thats a video you'd like to make and need a demo camper I'd be happy to discuss it.

[@lucilledaub5991]

I love to watch you sew.You're such a great teacher. Love your videos.

[@SailriteDIY]

[@livingyourbestlife711]

great job demonstrating this technique. I've been doing this same technique for about 12 years here in Kemah TX marinas! Thanks for sharing!

[@SailriteDIY]

Excellent! Keep it up.

[@thomasgordon517]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was struggling with the knot issue below the vinyl and this video came out just in time since I am starting a new enclosure project this week. Tommy W/Hoosier Fabrication SXS Custom Cage Enclosures

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks!!!

Great Instructional video. I have the LSZ1 machine and spending a lot of time learning. I recently replaced the isinglass roll up window zipper using your instructions. The project turned out well on my 44 foot Island Packet Sailboat. Thanks for tips and video.

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad your window curtain for your sailboat came out great. Thank for your kind comments and buying the Sailrite Ultrafeed Sewing Machine.

[@mickemusik]

I like your videos and all your info you'r sharing. I am working with sewing boat covers in Sweden. And I prefer to have some canvas between the zipper and the window. Most if the fabricators do the same thing here in the Nordic countries.

[@SailriteDIY]

We are glad you like them! Good luck with the boat cover.

[@ramloganfracic5761]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful informative video. Your procedure is very clear blessing

[@SailriteDIY]

You are welcome! Thanks!!!

[@cynforrest]

Thanks for great instructions! I’ve learned a bunch from you. Successfully reupholstered our patio furniture, including gusseted cushions with zips. Thank you. Btw, I agree the DSTape is a game changer!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks for the kind comment. We are glad you are completing several DIY sewing projects successfully, well done!!!! Yes, the Seasmstick Basting Tape is amazing stuff, makes sewing much easier.

[@agnaldooliveira4338]

Hello I have learned and applied in my work Gratitude

[@TERMIN8TOR99]

I did this for the 1st time on old hardened glass and I cut the stitching holding the zipper teeth. I've since replaced glass and installed zipper, was much easier to cut.

[@rahalati]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. May I ask what is the importance of adding the binding tape, is it just decorative something else?

[@Achabab]

So helpful thank you very much

[@jbreid8129]

Thanks for this informative video. I’d like to install a curved zipper into a screen. I assume the procedure would be the same as with a vinyl window? I’ve never sewn screen material before so I’m a little nervous!

[@wilkbor]

Thanks for the video.

[@llinamejia7470]

Thanks

[@leticiaaviles7136]

Gracias por tu video muy informativo.

[@kirstylockwood7421]

A great video, thank you. So neat! I'm curious about whether the basting tape gums up the needle at all?

[@SailriteDIY]

Basting tapes have a tendency to leave a gum residue on the needle when sewing lighter fabrics, but not so much when sewing heavier fabric assemblies. Heavy fabric assemblies have a tendency to clean then needle as it exits and enters the fabric. Although a well-adjusted machine should not be affected, if it does run the needle through a bar of Ivory soap to help prevent build-up or use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol to keep the needle clean.

[@mickywiese1990]

What do you use inside of the weights you have? I have thought about making myself some, but worried about using sand for obvious reasons? Your Video's are awesome by the way!

[@SailriteDIY]

We used sand and it has not leaked out for well over 5 years since made and I use them almost daily. Here is the link to make them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJmXmqCLjdylfqs

[@Nighthorseguncases]

Got to see this..

[@Badw34]

thank you; great video. Can you send a link for the instructional video for installing curved zipper in a vinyl window with a permeant screen. i don't seem to be able to find it. thanks so much.

[@SailriteDIY]

Is this the video you need?:kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZe7iKd9p6acas0

[@Badw34]

@@SailriteDIY yes thank you

[@mandyD]

Are your machines and supplies available in South Africa yet?

[@KentRobertSwickJrAroudTheWorld]

Is there an adhesive you'd recommend for clear vinyl to fabric? Wanting to reinforce any sewing, as in not great at sewing.

[@ryanellis642]

And why not see the outside zipper half first

[@ryanellis642]

You didn’t say about the types of zippers and how you can only use a spiral zipper

[@PatrickGiguereLC]

First comment!

[@schisandra]

Thank you for this helpful video (though to be nitpicky, the demonstrator’s nails could look a little nicer)

[@TERMIN8TOR99]

Lol, really.

[@johnq.public2621]

:)

[@sxsboy2253]

Wonderful information and it couldn’t be more timely as I’m getting ready to replace the windows in my 30 year old Coleman pop top. My Sailrite order should be arriving this week sometime and now I’m ready to go.

[@SailriteDIY]

Sounds great! Let us know if you have any questions.
