Great job! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@conniejohenry8429]

I sew over a metal zipper by taking a pair of pliers and take out 2 teeth on each side and sew it shut safely!! No broken needles.

[@tinajefferies5682]

What a brilliant idea!

[@laurawilson4733]

Sew smart

[@ameliapalmer4327]

@@laurawilson4733 I would turn the zipper virtical and zigzag a tight stitch but I so love the plires method nice ideas

[@donnakimball3822]

This was one of the best videos ever. I want to make this bag for so many things. Thank you.

[@donlewis4527]

Rob you are awesome and I LOVE watching you sew. Your a really great teacher and you cover everything. Rob do you have a written set of directions and photos as I would LOVE it. Thanks so very much.

[@lesa6399]

Watched several other tutorials...thank you, Rob!!! This is what I wanted to make for my grandsons!!! ❤️🤶🏻

[@tinageorge8759]

Great tutorial Rob, I'm very new in sewing zippers and you mastered that brass zipper beautifully!!! 💚

[@honeybadgerzs]

Great choice of fabrics for this project. Thanks for walking us through this awesome bag, it’s much appreciated x

[@janetmcadamsbailey1874]

thank you Rob, a new way to doing the bags, thanks

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Rob I really appreciate that if you make a mistake you show us how to fix it. I love your tutorials.

[@nannyanne50]

Love your videos

[@kathyvan9112]

You just solved a Christmas gift challenge. Nephews 11 & 14 years old. I'll fill with toothpaste, Toothbrush bandaids etc. they can always be ready for a camping trip or an overnight at a buddies house. You rock! Thanks!

[@warialdasue]

Gorgeous bag, and presented with your awesome personality as usual. 👍

[@patrice8257]

Next time go get old scissors!! Next time use your turn wheel and walk across the zipper!! I can't believe you did that lol I was yelling you are a trip.

[@alicebair1811]

Love this fabric!!!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I watched about ten videos to find a boxy bag that didn’t have exposed seams! I’m glad I finally found the right one!

[@barbhayes5613]

What brand of edge guide are you using on your machine? Is is specific to that brand or is it universal? It makes this project so much easier!

[@huisuk]

Thanks what a great idea. I'll definitely make one for travel💓

[@sandyrichmond2570]

I make these out of placemats so it’s automatically lined. Great tutorial!

[@cmaur811]

Sandy Richmond love the placemat trick.. pioneer women has great ones at Walmart .

[@olivewoo522]

I thought of that also. I have some cute designs floating around my apartment.

[@RosieCarl]

When I need to secure a zipper to keep the ends together, I zig-zag across the teeth, and my needle doesn't ever need to get between the teeth. I wondered why you didn't do that, but then I was thinking that maybe the machine you are using is straight-stitch only?

[@veevee111]

Rosemary Carlson that's a good tip! I want to thank you because I don't have much experience with sewing across the teeth of a zipper, though I have installed a couple of zippers so very long ago.

[@briteddy9759]

I think I will use a non-metallic zipper until I am more comfortable with sewing zippers. These pouches are a great way of putting FMQ practices to good use.

[@AvivaHadas]

Love to see errors & fixes!

[@nolamu]

I love your videos thank you for sharing what threads last more for sewing cotton or polyester thank you.

[@andreawalker2535]

I love the fabric on this bag. You may want to look at Nancy Zeiman's tutorial, which makes this a little easier,. But maybe she did not line the bag.

[@gbjacks2]

Rob where are you? Have not seen you in while. Hope all is well.

[@rebeccachianese5191]

I have folded the end tab of the zipper inside instead of making a second tab. The end of the zipper makes a really cute tab! Great tutorial as usual Rob!

[@sandijames6409]

Rebecca Chianese how do you do this?? It sounds cute.

[@rebeccachianese5191]

Sandi James use a longer zipper and fold the end over into the seam

[@mosalinas80]

That sounds really cute! I will try that idea!

[@wandaprivratsky6643]

Rob, what is the Edge guide that you use in this video - (the silver guide with screw )- where can I find one ? It looks like it works very well and I certainly could use one to help with mu seams.

[@SheldonSFCA]

Hi there Rob. I've seen many videos on how to make the box bag and I have to say yours by far is the most understandable and easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much. Another fellow male sewer and tailor, Charles. :)

[@faitharrowood8001]

I died a little bit when you cut the zipper with your gingher shears! Cool bags though, that fabric is amazing

[@sherry7274]

Love your video's

[@claudelatorre6818]

You are awesome

[@roshanezarmeen1020]

2 zipper box pouch plz!....

[@jamesdonson139]

I like using a wide zig-zag stitch to lock the free-end of my zipper before working on my projects. Then I can avoid having to stitch across the teeth with my straight stitch.

[@AuntieEm1]

I like this much better than my own tutorial because your seams are all hidden! I'm going to start making mine this way. Thanks for the tip and another great video!

[@starrdavis285]

You're awesome dude🤙 I love your videos almost as much as Missouri Star (that's saying a LOT 😜😘)

[@HWolfe]

OMGOSH Rob! I needed this, as I am doing a travel pouch fr a miltary contractor and I am wayyyyy overdue. Thank you very much☆

[@susangardem1354]

an excellent video i liked the way you stitched the lining opening before turning it out which i'll try on my zipper pouches. By doing it this way though, are your corners turned out properly? I need to get in through the lining and poke them out.

[@CloudyWishes]

Susan Gardem yes

[@runnergurl61]

Rob - what is the name of the foot you are using? It is narrow and I really like it.

[@helenfitch3440]

If you cut the corners out and then stitch the box across it's easier. Give it a try.

[@lindaamacdonald8219]

I went to Rob Appell Show last night in Monte Vista Village Resort Mesa, AZ and WOW! he did a wonderful Show! I was setting in front because I’m deaf. Took lot of pictures of his BEAUTIFUL QUILTS. So now I’m looking into his KZbin. Great job Rob!

[@mariasandberg3219]

Nice tutorial 😄 , do you often play the gitar?

[@carolblais3071]

I love the quilt hanging up in back of you. I have looked at all your patterns and cannot find it. Please let me know where to find the pattern. The fabrics you chose make it beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for listening (reading. Carol Blais

[@bettyochoa4099]

Hi, love this tutorial but u didn't give us the dimensions.i saw that items we need but I yd is too large! Please give me the size of sqare u using.

[@denisehosner3405]

He says 8 x 10" in the beginning...

[@corvettew.s.4360]

Why do you not just turn right side out through the zipper?

[@ameliapalmer4327]

how do you get your gingers sizzers sharpened

[@bridgetgoodhead9712]

Hi Rob. I love your videos and the variety of projects you do. I’m definitely going to make the boxed bag but am not brave enough to stitch over the brass zipper! Do you think a wide zig zag with a very short stitch length so that it sews almost on the spot as it zig zags across the teeth will work?

[@charlottebruce4387]

This is one of your best projects. Keep it up.

[@dorothytackett9943]

For those concerned about stitching over a medal zipper hand sew it back and forth. No fear. Watch all your tutorials. So helpful. Thank you.

[@lindawilliams9880]

If you set your zigzag to its widest and shortest stitch then you don’t need to worry about breaking a needle. Just zigzag several stitches across the zipper and use your fabric glue to secure it.

[@sheryljohnson5062]

Huh???? Ok you flew...caffeine speed... thru the pull tab part and I have NO clue! I will try to wing it!

[@joantadisch2872]

Your scissors on fire T-shirt is great!

[@gavinkarenrichards6423]

I found this just at the right time for me as I made one NOT lined and was trying to work out how to do this then like magic there was your tutorial Thank you :) :) Great instructions and I sewed along with you which was great also turned out great and you were easy to follow along with Cheers from Australia

[@lesleynitschke6879]

Instead of stitching over the needle, why don't you hand crank over it that way you won't break a needle

[@jolenefox2518]

I like this one better than any I have watched. I have watched several Thanks for a perfect video, Jolene Fox

[@mandyfish4142]

Getting these box corners perfect can be a pain and takes patience especially if you have a lining as well. Your bag looks great.

[@trudypenney3222]

Where did you get your seam guide?

[@guineverecassidy4855]

Awesome tute! Love that you have it fully lined! Bravo!! Will totally be using this method. Was looking for a fully lined boxed and was not having any luck until now. You Rock!

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

Love the tutorial! I have never seen anyone demonstrate with a metal zipper thank you for sharing!

[@bethbilous4720]

source for brass zippers please.

[@mischellsmith7774]

Rob I love your wedding ring. Where did you get it?The celtic knot looks great, I used to have a knot work ring it was 4 strand knot that had no beginning or end, it was a continuous all the way around. Good work on the video. I watch all of them you make. :)

[@joyjackman6017]

I push corners out before closing lining, gives a neater look to bag!

[@rabbytca]

Why was a 3/8" seam allowance used throughout instead of 1/4"?

[@marilynheath68]

Rob, any hints on keeping your sewing space neat? Yours looks so clean all the time.

[@craftscor]

Love your instructions Rob. I made one out of vinyl and it turned out beautiful. Christmas present for my son.

[@janetmcadamsbailey1874]

Rob, you used a few different steps in this bag, I love it by the way, but could you explain the purpose of the changes?

[@marthagriffin7149]

Fantastic job. Very informative. Thank you.

[@sharonhilb5950]

I love your videos. So inspirational and HAPPY!

[@kayoliver8462]

What type of pressure foot are you using to sew the zipper? Great tutorial.

[@fluffsipad7462]

You could use lead free solder for elections on the teeth of the zipper to hold them. But a fire hazard from the iron is a thing to look out for. And I use titanium sewing needles.

[@tarkheenameyer5499]

Great tutorial, Rob! Love these. I make them from layer cakes for small ones and from fat quarters for larger bags. Keep them coming! :)

[@jcshaven6093]

nice zipper

[@graceboughner3370]

Love the quilt in the background. Is there a video or pattern.

[@TheHamadanners]

Awsome possum

[@bernicejames8827]

I would like the demo for the tablet you made. It's ideal.

[@CloudyWishes]

Nice Rob, thankyou

[@Colleen527]

My hands are not strong enough to do two layers at a time do you have a you tube that could show me that process

[@martap3494]

This looks great and the fabric is so beautiful.

[@stephaniekeenum6078]

Love this. I'm gonna get zippers and make this week

[@dianawright8334]

Instead of leaving an opening for turning just unzip your bag lol, luv ya dude

[@OnRappel]

Think I've watched every box bag tutorial and have made numerous bags, but this explanation really made it seem confusing. Nice looking bag though.

[@eileenjones8552]

I like your idea with using the back end of the zipper! Thank you!

[@joymay172]

liked your use of the edge guide for boxing corners

[@ryanashi]

Perfect timing, I made four zipper pouches off of Jenny’s tutorial today. I know what I’m doing tomorrow now!

[@helenfitch3440]

Me too ... might even start early, like tonight.

[@LebecEgirlSews]

Awesome video ROB !!! Gonna make one soon!

[@EllensButikk]

nice

[@lindadaley7469]

Where is Man Sewing for this week?

[@alicebair1811]

Excellent job! Love the fabric!!

[@sassieanne]

Hi Rob, Where did you get the edge guide?

[@lindadavis8082]

Wonderful zipper tips.

[@teresaday8296]

Your Tutorials are great!

[@joncampos5551]

Bro you are too cute

[@MzValerie]

Soooo. Why not just buy the proper size zipper? I know. Silly question.

[@faitharrowood8001]

Valerie Good I've always wondered that myself, it seems like every bag tutorial uses long zippers cut down.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Valerie Good because with a longer zipper, you can move the pull and the metal stop out of the way while sewing. It’s easier I have done it both ways!

[@MzValerie]

BeatlesFanSonia holy. I wrote this back in June. It is Sept. I forgot the question. I had to go back and re read.

[@neerajkumarshrivastava9733]

Your text write on your presentation

[@charissawilkinson9270]

Thank you.

[@amandamiller7736]

Love it!

[@jeffccr3620]

Kinda strange to do a tutorial video and have half the process already done.

[@panchaguzman3719]

Making my bags I did alot of these just gave them away I don't believe in selling them

[@mattmatt5480]

tq bro

[@michellepark778]

just remove a few teeth from zip with pliers before stitching
