Sewing Zippers 102 - Bind & Slit Approach

[@sherrymorgan9881]

It warms my heart to see an executive of a company be so expert at the assembly of his own product. Great companies are successful when the leaders know what happens where the actual work takes place. Outstanding work.

[@samTollefson]

As a retired builder/contractor person I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, Sherry! I have seen so many businesses that are run by MBA types that have no real clue what happens in the backroom or in the field, which can lead to endless possibilities of confusion or failure and clueless finger-pointing. When getting an estimate or interview for a job I will look for the person I am talking to, to be the person that will be on the job and know what is going on! Less ultimate hassle, higher odds of stress-free success!

[@tzz615]

Great video.

[@samhutson7966]

The voice is clearer,the instructions are clear!!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad the voice and instructions are clear to you.

[@DiannaAtherton]

Loved this tutorial! Easy to focus with no music or commentator. Thank you.

[@layhill9334]

Thank God for Sailrite, and thank you for taking time to put this great tutorial together!

[@mariebambo589]

Thank you so much for posting these instructional videos. Also the links and identification of the products is so helpful.

[@SailriteDIY]

We are using a V-92 Polyester thread for this demo. In some of the other videos we use Tenara Clear sewing thread which is a lifetime warranty thread. The V-92 Polyester is a good UV thread, but is not as good as Tenara.

[@elizabethmezzacappa5615]

You should make a notation, tenara is not compatible with the LSZ-1 machine 😔

[@warialdasue]

I have no idea why I watched this but it was interesting. I love that sewing machine

[@Scottforyoutube]

Used this method to add a zipper to my wheel/pedestal cover. It was a pain in the butt to take off and put on. I finally figured out I could use this method to solve the problem! Thanks Sailrite!

[@nealhere]

Brilliant ! Thanks so much I am starting a project on my Blue Sailrite machine and this technique will be handy. Keep up the good work. Valuable info that is timeless

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad you liked it.

[@danchun2307]

Great demonstration very informative and easy to learn and follow. Thank you

[@ericneering6357]

I never noticed it before but now that I have a singer 78 three it sounds like somethings wrong with that sewing machine. Love you guys and stuff.

[@brianfanning9030]

sailrite is my Go To for anything l make. roman blinds, waterproof seams, clears in canvas,all sorts

[@DoctorColg8]

Just a thought... it would be helpful for some of us new "professionals" if on all your sewing demos you could edit the description text and list the needle info (type, size) thread and fabric used (perhaps with links to your catalog for immediate purchase). I for one would appreciate it.

[@b767greg]

Thanks Matt! Just the video I needed! Worked great on my pizza oven cover!

[@njsarn]

Thanks very much for the demo stitches. Buying a Sailrite for sure.

[@Tony-ot4mh]

Straight to the point and very helpfull, nice touch using the white stitching to highlite the process, made it easy to follow.......:)

[@SailriteDIY]

@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ Thanks for your interest in this video. No, the double sided tape is not water soluble. The double sided tape will in fact help to prevent water from penetrating the needle holes (if the needle penetrated the area where it was used) and thus helps to make your canvas job a little more water resistant.

[@garymcalinden4750]

Wow very impressive and greatly informative

[@christophernebauer2711]

Great demonstration just wondering if the sunbrella would fry in the silt ? Thanks

[@JustSusan]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you! This tutorial saved my *** yesterday!

[@SailriteDIY]

I checked the video and it is clear and done in HD. I am not sure I understand your issue.

[@SailriteDIY]

That sewing machine is the Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 which is a full walking foot sewing machine. It is part #102600 at sailrite.com

[@MileyonDisney]

I very much dislike being around water, so I'm not likely to be on a boat. But I will say that your materials all seem to be of outstanding quality. Even the Sailrite sewing machine in other videos.

[@grahammj1yt]

Great camera work!

[@micheleeddy129]

Thank you, for the video, I watched it in preparation to change out the bridge smile windows. I see I am in good company, we all bumble with the darn zipper slider 😉

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@farhadfadayi7389]

great video. thanks for great tutorial. I hobbies leather worker and I make bags as hobby, and I knew this methode, but am doing little bit different way.

[@carmenita7583]

Thank you for your video, it’s a professional and innovative

[@ericdebord]

this makes me want to do more sewing.

[@DoctorColg8]

I like the zipper tricks... at 60, it's been a while since I was expert at zippers. My 1980's college days however...

[@tomrolf4829]

When you cut the slit through the sunbrella material won't that material fray over time because it's not cut with a hot knife?...Thanks love your video's!

[@SailriteDIY]

True, that is why we covered the front side with two strips of binding to help hid the slit in the Sunbrella fabric. The zipper on the other side will also help hid the slit which will unravel. If possible use a hot knife and carefully touch the edges of the cut Sunbrella fabric to help prevent that from happening.

[@samhutson7966]

What size thread would you recommend?

[@SailriteDIY]

V-92 thread would work great.

[@JBaumwirt]

This was great! I’m not sure how the top of the zipper end was finished. Was their binding installed there? These videos are so appreciated!

[@chelom92]

Thanks for the awesome videos!!!

[@kooky74]

Hello. Thanks for the skills sharing.

[@SailriteDIY]

So nice of you

[@botiquinesmoradeprimerosau1505]

gracias por el vídeo

[@AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

Hi the double sided tape You used in the video was it water soluble? Great video thanks for sharing!

[@kellybikeco]

very helpful... thank you!

[@markengbretsen7708]

Thank You, very informative.

[@cnvw974]

I plan on self teaching myself with all sailrite videos to save me a couple thousand on new Windows. But have two newbee question? What does one do if material is much wider than machine? What keeps stitch from pulling out? (Guess I don't understand how a stitch works)

[@SailriteDIY]

+cnvw974 Q: What does one do if material is much wider than machine? A:Most of the sewing is done around the outer edges (especially for vinyl curtains (windows)). So, you will not have as much bulk to go under the arm of the sewing machine. However, when you do, you just scroll (roll) up the fabric as best as possible and feed it under the arm. Q:What keeps stitch from pulling out? A:The stitch that a lock stitch machine does does not pull apart like a chain stitch that is often seen in a dog food bag. When you start the stitch and end do some reversing (about on inch) to help lock the stitch ends from coming apart.

[@karencox9256]

I would like to watch the video of patterning the little window or screen for the front of the boat. The part between the glass and the canopy.

[@peggyt1243]

I like watching Angela sew. She is meticulous.

[@margonewhall1272]

I thought it was not ok to turn the wheel backwards but it looks like that it was when he was doing a bartack stitch at the beginning of sewing.

[@SailriteDIY]

You are correct, do not turn the balance wheel backwards. However, if it is done in small increments, like when removing a project from under the foot or to position a stitch, it may not cause issues.

[@gloriaponce7300]

Wonderful video ! Thank you so much ! For this I loved !👍👍

[@nishkatupacs1479]

So your working on pieces that run through the machine because there small. How do you deal with a big panel? Roll it before you feed through?

[@SailriteDIY]

Yes, when feeding large panels of fabric through the machine you must scroll the fabric up so it can fit under the arm of the sewing machine. Usually you are mostly sewing the outer edge of fabric panels, but when sewing panels together they must be scrolled or rolled to fit.

[@rstevens3221]

Great job and video!

[@dung1899]

very good ideas.

[@AstroWrLd44]

What stitch length do you use for topstitiching/French seams. Cheers

[@SailriteDIY]

I like to use 6mm stitch length.

[@mai266]

Where can I buy bindings on a roll like that

[@SailriteDIY]

+sadie lawrence Buy Binding here: www.sailrite.com/easearch#!&ea_q=binding

[@serkberk8644]

Какая цена этой швейноймашинки ?

[@paultuttle2096]

Double speed without narration is too fast. I do not like most instructional videos lacking sound. Going twice as fast makes it more difficult.

[@cinewillp6391]

The man has worked his way up! thats a walking foot?

[@nataz9732]

Где купить такую машинку с верхним продвижением,а???оооочень хочу такой аппарат))))!

[@srr9281]

Love you guys Matt, BUT, the frantic pace of the first section is SO distracting. Maybe possible to offer a second less forced tutorial? Thanks again for all your video efforts.

[@bluecornstar1231]

What’s bland of sewing machine,plz

[@SailriteDIY]

We used the Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 sewing machine in this video. You can find them here: www.sailrite.com/Sewing-Machines/Portable-Heavy-Duty-Sewing-Machines

[@samhutson7966]

You can’t loose !?!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thank you for your enthusiasm! We need more people like you to keep the spirit alive!

[@christypoos9728]

Neat zipper application.

[@iwantosavemoney]

And this is the reason I will pay some one very skilled nice

[@lisettegarcia]

You should redo this video carefully. It's not that helpful to watch demos with bad technique brushed off as "good enough for these purposes" since the whole purpose of watching is to learn how to do things better.

[@poche660]

You can see the plastic is scratched from rubbing on the table and sewing machine. I wouldn't want to see that on my finished window after spending all that money on materials and labor.

[@earljmaui_boy2546]

* * * It was a demonstration of a sewing technique... it's really up to you how you protect your project during construction. * * * I wonder if it comes with a protective sheet of paper that peels off... especially IF it comes in a large roll... hmmm... * * * Yes it does... 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞. You'll have to have some sort of protective surface to make windows with that vinyl/plastic material. Until that time...

[@earlparker6510]

The way you guys sew is stupid because in a regular sewing you would stop the sewing and turn it and continue to sew.
