Gotta say a massive thank you thank you thank you. Not going to tell you how long I've sat hete trying to do this. And then i found this wonderful tutorial. I had the teeth up facing me. And now watching this. And the fact i had teeth facing down it was easy. I'd been put off these zips by the yard because of doing this. Now I have NO feats at all

Thank you, Sara! This is my first attempt at using zippers by the yard. I was having a hard time trying to get the darn pull on. You mentioned to make a "V" to slide the zipper on; that was all it took! Such a simple thing but it worked like a charm! Love your channel and your bags!

After struggling on my own, I decided to turn to KZbin. Yours was the first video I watched and I got the zipper pull on the coil on the first try using your method! Thank you so much! I had purchased zipper pulls to use with leftover zipper coils because I didn’t want to waste the zipper coils and can now use them for small coin purses. Perfect demonstration. Thank you!

I’m reupholstering an armchair cushion. First time I’ve done upholstery-including installing a zipper cut from zipper roll. It was toward the end of a long day, and a wiser person would have just set it aside. Instead, I went to KZbin (which has been my go-to resource for everything “upholstery” so far). Yours was the first video I found and a few minutes later, my zipper head was perfectly installed! Thank you so much!

I have used a zipper roll many times but I always have trouble putting the zipper pull on. I have a huge roll that I was about to give to Goodwill because I could never get it to work when I needed it. I decided to go on KZbin and just see what was suggested to make it easier. I watch at least fifteen before I got to yours...they just either didn't work for me or they didn't make sense to me. I finally came across your explanation on HOW TO ADD ZIPPER HEADS TO TAPE OR TO A ZIPPER ROLL. This really was a game changer for me. It worked the first time and I just kept doing it over and over. So easy. Thank you very much. Best "How-To" Video that I've come across. I've never seen the "fork" trick either.

I bought several zipper rolls a few years back having seen that they worked so easily. And then I came to use them and it was like wizardry, I could NOT get the pull onto the zip! I watched one lady’s video but could align the sides evenly and moving the pull up was ok but it was sticking going down. And then I found your video. THANK YOU! You’ve meant I can now use what I’d bought a while ago perfectly and it’s not been a vast waste of money!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've watched so many videos on how to "easily" attach a pull either with or without a fork, cutting one side shorter, forming a V and with each video my frustration grew! I was beginning to think my fingers weren't working right :( Then I found your video !!! Where others showed placing the pull on the tines, it didn't show or explain where the tines go. Armed with this new information I ran excited to the kitchen and grabbed the desired utensil and am now happily (and easily) practising !

I've been doing this by hand...what a pain! Love this method. When I get a bump...I continue to move the zipper along the teeth almost to the end, then split the zipper open to that end. No need to keep rethreading. I leave enough tape to trim evenly if needed. I was always terrified of zip by the yard...until now.

What an incredible tip! Thank you!! I was fixing a tent zipper with two (two way) double pull zippers and your technique worked perfectly. I opened both ends of the zipper, (not sure if that was necessary) and made sure that the bottom of the zipper slider was up, as you mention in the video that the zipper and tape need to be inside facing up when sliding the tape into the zipper. It took me a few tries to get oriented and find the bottom of the double pull since at first it looks the same from the top as the bottom. Saved me a tonne of frustration!
