Best video I've found on zipper tabs where you conceal the thread.Thank you!

[@Hobblecreekkid]

Love this. Quick and dirty with lots of great info. Thanks for all the great tips for a beginner fabricator. LOL

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!

[@LearnMYOG]

Thanks 👍

[@mwd6478]

Very helpful! Wish you showed that final assembly step on the tabbed zipper! I want to be able to seam tape / bind a side seam so I think keeping the zipper tape away from it is the way to go. Would also be interesting to see a grosgrain pull tab added here.

[@MsYablonsky]

Great video. Only suggestion is I would reverse the order of the chapters. First time I did this I wished I made the side stoppers before attaching the panels

[@esavirtanen6418]

It's great that you are putting out more content and these shorter and concise videos are excellent!

[@LearnMYOG]

Glad you enjoy the shorter format content!

[@ppwhatkakarana3185]

Clear and precise love it mate thank you

[@henriknordlander6576]

Veeeeeeeeery good content. Nice short formats, just enough detail to grasp the concepts. Honestly the best MYOG channel I found, that suits me and where I am right now. Would love some tips and tricks when it comes to types of fabrics/projects and what seams and stitches to use, and what to keep in mind when designing patterns and planning the projects.

[@LearnMYOG]

Good ideas for more ‘getting started’ videos. Thanks 🙏

[@themindunset]

This video is so darn helpful. I'm brand new to sewing and I'm trying to make my own top tube bag as a learning experiment. Thanks for the clear explanations.

[@LearnMYOG]

Awesome to hear. Check out my other video showing assembly of a top tube bag. Can skip the foam and inner lining for your first go to make it a bit easier.

Hey mate! Just letting you know I’ve been following your tutorials and they’re super useful! I just made a practice bag (from calico and pleather, for groceries) with boxed corners in anticipation for a pack build. I’m building a 38L ultralight pack and your various tutorials have taught me heaps, thanks so much.

[@LearnMYOG]

Thanks for letting me know. Helps motivate me to make more project tutorials!

[@santomuro]

@@LearnMYOG Just last night I followed your pattern for the square-bottomed cinch bag. Great instructions, turned out perfect! Used some thin waterproof canvas (practicing until I use my expensive materials!). Thanks again, the whole MYOG community appreciates your work

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Great video! Thanks.

[@thegirlintheladybirdheadband]

So neat and satisfying zippers!

[@mnmartin73]

Great videos thank you so much! Please make a video about bias binding on the inside of bags.

[@LearnMYOG]

I can for sure. Bag Buff has a great video on seam binding which you should check out too.

[@hoosierinthewoods]

What model is your JUKI? Helpful video, Thank you

[@Fereday]

Great videos! Just curious if you might have any tips for my project. I am making a SUP paddle bag for an 8.5" width paddle, with a curved zipper on the top. I keep running into challenges on the top stitching towards the end of the zipper due to the zipper being connected. And the end of one zipper sticking out on the side which is sewn together, then turned right side out. FYI I sew one side all the way down and turn right side out & the other side I stitch a webbing over the exposed seams. appreciate any ideas. thank you

[@GrantSR]

Another good video. The contrast between the fabrics helped us see what you were doing. However, if you had used a contrasting color for the thread as well, it would have been easier to see where you were making the stitches for the top stitching along the zipper. Also, one thing you forgot to explain was why you didn't bother to make sure the two fabric pieces were perfectly aligned. It seems as if you intentionally cut them both larger than needed, to allow for variations in assembly. Then, after assembly, you treated the whole assembly as one piece of fabric for one panel of the bag, and cut it to size (WITH the necessary seam allowance). Oh, another thing you forgot to explain was exactly what point to do the bar-tacks, and why. Do you do them within the seam allowance, allowing the seam itself to stop the zipper? Or, do you do them within the main body of the panel, using them to prevent the zipper slide from hitting the seam and possibly wearing it out over the long term? BTW, I am only critiquing your videos because I think they are pretty good, but could be better. If I thought they were crappy, I would just "Dislike" them and move on.

[@MikhailKoslowski]

Nice video Tim! How do you account for the zipper when measuring the seam allowance on the pannels? the zipper will increase the end size of the pannel, but we probably have to leave a bigger allowance anyway to account for the top stitch.

[@LearnMYOG]

Actually the zipper install should not add or decrease the panel size and no seam allowance should be added. Be sure to sew the panel to the tape so that all of the tape+teeth exposed is equal to the amount of fabric consumed. I just align the edge of panel with the tape and then sew exactly in the middle of the tape. YKK tape actually has a visible pattern where the middle is. When you open the panel to Top stitch, be sure to fold the fabric at the seam line created.

Hello friend, what kind or number of needle do you use? Thank you

[@LearnMYOG]

Size the needle to your thread. See my webpage for a zero to hero guide with all the info you need to get started.

[@cts19816]

@@LearnMYOG thank you, Really like your channel.

[@inneryard]

Which presser foot are you using?

[@LearnMYOG]

That’s just my standard foot for the needle feed machine. It’s coincidentally the perfect width for the needle to align in the middle of narrow zipper tape. Common alternative is a dedicated zipper foot.
