Fork Trick to Put Zipper Heads On Zipper Yardage

[@juliez1539]

Thanks for your video! I’ve seen a few videos that show how to use a fork and it never made any sense to me and didn’t work. Your video, however, shows exactly what you are doing in a beautiful close up, and it makes perfect sense to me now!!

[@annwaters9484]

I was struggling to put the pull on the zipper tape...and was having a horrible time with the head wiggling all over...and then I found your video showing your trick with the fork...and it solved my problem!!! I was able to finish my project that I wasn't sure I'd be able to until I found your secret! Thank you so much!

[@danielhowen655]

You know, there's a lot going wrong in this world, and a sizable amount of it on this website, but this dad who's just trying to fix his son's pajamas is monumentally grateful that there is such a person as the zipper lady who knows all the tricks to zippering and then puts videos of it out for the world to see when they need to fix their son's pajamas.

[@sueb1343]

Just fixed a canopy party tent zipper using your video! It took a bit of "jiggling" as you said it would, but I just saved a lot of money on either replacing the zipper or replacing the tent side! This was wonderful!!! Thanks so much.

[@thezipperlady]

Excellent!

[@alice30045]

Always just wondered how those work, now I know. Lady, you did a great presentation, no music, concise, right to the point and a good camera view. THANKS.

[@youresoakinginit2113]

Omigod, the MUSIC!!! It has its place, adds to amusing videos, but on instructional ones it can be so distracting. Imagine if we were in some crafting/quilting class at a shop, and the teacher cranks up an annoying instrumental as soon as she starts talking! Gimme plainspeak any day, get to the point and don't rush through the demo. ZIPPER LADY does all the above without annoying me! ❤ It doesn't hurt my feelings that she has a pleasant speaking voice, too, with excellent diction.

[@jackieboyd7506]

OMG..this trick is amazing.. thank you.. just saved myself 40cm of new zipper as i pulled the slider off by accident when sewing it into a new project. I don't have a lot of money so its saved me money. thank you. the Fork is my new best sewing notion ::)

[@DiannaAtherton]

Many many years ago I saw your video. I remembered I had this zipper roll I bought at the Pacific International Quilt Show in my bottom drawer. I could never figure out how to attach the darn pulls so there it sat for years. Your video fixed all that. Works like a charm. My mother-in-law gave me her mother's silver set and has beautiful salad forks. That's what I use. Thank you again

[@lobelia5844]

A quote I'll never forget for magically fixing zippers is "give it a little jiggle" - worked like a charm! Thank you Zipper Lady!

[@SB-km5yp]

Great Video. Thank you. Last week I saw a similar video with the fork and clamp, but your explanation of where the tines actually slot in on the zipper slide is the first time I’ve seen that explained, so it makes sense why my technique wasn’t successful as the fork I was using definitely do not conform as you explained! Thank you.

[@juditharnott5604]

I used to spend a lot of time trying to get the pulls on. Your idea is GENIUS! Muchas gracias! Now the cushion covers will be finished faster!

[@nicobkn]

Thank you so much! My backpack that I've been carrying for almost 5 years now and the zipper broke, I thought I would have to buy a new one because looking on KZbin I couldn't find anybody that helped me with the problem I had, until I saw this video, and it worked perfectly! now I can keep my backpack and use it like always.

[@rohitsalelkar5326]

OMG.. THIS HACK WOULD HAVE SAVED ALOT OF MY TIME IF I HAD SEEN THIS VIDEO LONG BACK.... THANK YOU

[@seemafayaz6372]

Me too bro i broke the zipper opened its mouth with screwdeiver broke it

[@tishabryan5169]

I was on a deadline making a bag and in the middle of the project the zipper came off the tape.Tried for a long time to get it on but it wasn't happening. I ordered a zipper jig online - when it arrived it was the wrong size. Saw this video and got my fork and clamp and voila' - my zipper is back on the tape! THANK YOU so much for making and posting this video- it was extremely helpful!

[@betsygreacen9195]

Wahoo!! Almost gave up - then found this. Phew! Might survive zippers after all. Thank you so much for posting this!!

[@thezipperlady]

Hi Betsy! Subscribe to my channel & I'll be posting more zipper videos shortly! Stay Well! Stay in front of your sewing machine! Alicia

[@ReginaLee-t8e]

You are the first one that worked after watching over 20 videos on how to replace the zipper pull. Thank you!

[@yuenpingwat6930]

Thank you so much, I’ve just repaired my zipper within 3 minutes while watching your video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JamesBorgardt]

Really helpful! Especially ther repetitive nature of her approach. Helped me stay on task (with patience) until I was able to "wiggle" the zipper head on. Thank you so much.

[@racefun4]

Very nice trick ! Thank you ! I do zipper head insertions without taking down the zipper on many tipes of clothing and bags, it can get very annoying and hard ! ..pays well because it-s cheaper than replacing the whole zipper. Your trick can prove useful sometimes!

[@annblachly8068]

Best demo on fork as third hand installing zips. And you added a brief demo on the correct zipper heads for different teeth/coils.

[@andreaeng6478]

This has got to be the tip of the century! thank you so much zipper lady - I already had "the tummy" and I was so happy to find a 3 tine fork in my drawer. It didn't take me long to put all my zipper pulls onto my continuous tape and I am truly away laughing. Thanks again!

[@marcusandrade]

Oh Thank you so much. Your fork and wiggly method saved my day and my backpack. Fixed and jiffy, caveat: I inserted the zipper head upside down, and now, zipper slides down and closes, this is great also, works!

[@Designsbyg]

loved this trick! thanks! May the fork be with you....

[@ksfullm]

I can't believe your fork trick works!!! Thank you so much! Had to bend a fork to get to three tines, but it works. I was struggling with getting one side on and then not getting the other on! Reading to take it to a repair place to have it fixed. Success!

[@mmaliboobarbie]

I worked in a store that sold zipper by the yard and I never got a zipper pull onto a zipper tape as fast as you in the 6 years I was there. I would have killed to be able to do this as easily. I loved your tips and THANK YOU.

[@neerajdeshpande7679]

Fantastic! Worked like a charm 👍

[@annowen8888]

Wish I had seen this year's ago ! Brilliant ,thanks a bunch .

[@lanamcquown3063]

With much sadness and a few tears, I was getting ready to throw my favorite beach bag away because the zipper fell off and I couldn’t get it back on. This did the trick and I am forever grateful I don’t have to part with my beloved bag. Many thanks!!!

[@Saucyakld]

Amazing! After years of struggling I found how to do it without swearing and nearly being in tears! Thank you ! 👍

[@jeels41]

i was ready to scream & she makes it so easy

[@jungeun426]

I was about to call this trick worthless because it wasn't working with my zippers but after several tries, it actually worked! Wow, thank you for this neat trick!

[@conniel.4601]

Thank you! The bigger sizes are easy, even without the fork. #3 is the most difficult.

[@kylokelani]

OH MY GOSH. THIS WORKED!!! And i didn't have to pull any teeth off the zipper. I almost gave up until I came across this video. Thank you soooo much!

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

THANK YOU! Brilliant! I have so much trouble with those little things. Yay!

[@yedelinemonroe1259]

Thank youuuu so much!!! I thought my new bag was ruined when i accidently pulled off the zipper but now its fixed that to your tutorial!!💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@judithpace6925]

Thank you! I’ve been fighting these pulls, and your video made it so easy! Met you at Sew Expo in Puyallup two years ago. Looking forward to in person Expo next year!

[@youresoakinginit2113]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Oh ZipperLady, you explained this so well, SO glad I found your videos. I'm replacing the pull for a 220" zipper on a mattress topper cover, and I didn't think i would be able to pull it off, was looking at replacement covers that cost 5X what the foam topper did (eons ago). Now all I have to do is apply what you demo'd to my situation. Now to set aside time to view AAALLLLLLL Zipper Lady Videos. 😸

[@TeachDIY]

Great trick! May the fork be with you.

[@dmelloruth]

Most magical trick ever... It works for almost everything i tried on... Thank you so much...

[@BosisofSweden]

OMG! My life would have been totally different had I known there was a zipperlady out there in the world like 15 years ago! This was booth educational and funny

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

I came over to thank you for this video! I bought a greenhouse with a plastic cover. The zipper completely separated, and because of the size of the greenhouse, a replacement cover isn't available. I was able to put it back together and then I superglued the top so it doesn't come apart again. Thanks! :)
