How To Sew a Zipper, Stitch Rock, Craft Fair, Threadbanger

[JoodyChannel]

So ugly the people in this viedio i. Dont like style there so bad so cheap :/

[GagasHooker]

this is a horrible zipper video. im sorry to say. if this is the back of a skirt, for one, its way more pretty to use an invisible zipper. in that case alot would change. Installing a zipper is an art, and the seams make it look so ugly. it just looks so unappealing

[JediPirateNinja]

Thanks for the zipper bit! I was a bit intimidated by putting a zipper in a teddy bear sleeping bag, but now I think I'm ready!

Plus? I have that same pair of birdy scissors, inherited from my grandmother. :D

[atlast23]

Thanks - the demonstration was helpful.

[jasdf]

zipper bit starts around 3:08 if you're interested.

[chickypoo1012]

if u can't find basting glue or don't like useing glue on your frabric try basting tape. it's tape that comes in a thin role and it's much more accurat then glue and it washes out, so there is my edvice :)

[martijwis]

the instructions were clear about sewing in a zipper--thx!

[HisLoveIsAmazing]

Wow, that is super easy! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! adding zippers always scared me too!! YAY, i am so excited to add zippers.. whoohoo a zipper here and azipper there... a zipper everywhere! =)

[MrsChelloJello]

@HisLoveIsAmazing Ditto

[beguiledchild]

I fail at sew zippers. :[

[hensca]

little children in sweatshops make things by hand too. isn't that love?

[DeSmurfen125]

Corinne I love your outfit in the beginning and I wish Rock The Stitch were in Holland :D:D

[jerzeegir1]

I'm working a dress for my daughter and freaked out when I realized it has a zipper in it. This is the best tutorial I've seen on zippers.

[craggystump]

Amazing!!!! Thank you!!! xx

[rosiedollcorpse]

Zippers r easy, just put my first one EVER in my snazzy minnie mouse costume. Fun times. No Fear, Just Pick A Method You Feel Cumphy With...  There are other Tutorials Mix n Match =]

[YogaEternal]

aiy aiy aiy... tooo fast for a newbie! She made it look soooo easy...hmmm

I'm about to sew a zipper now!

[geminipeach22]

sorry but that does not look easy to me. i think zippers are just something you have to be patient with and know that it's a multi-step process in which each step must be executed well in order to have a sturdy and straight zipper. do-able, but not necessarily easy.

[chichikneads]

Wow!! Thank you can't wait to put in a zipper!! ... What about changing a zipper in dress pants???

[alykirk1]

Does the glue have to dry before the zipper can be sewn in?

[LilMsFussy]

Fantastic! Easy, neat, professional looking! Thanks for the helpful tutorial.

[mesovogue]

That zipper tutorial was SOOOOOO helpful, I can't thank you enough

[dona0716]

welcome to threadhead???

[Dehlila07]

cool

[23cookies92chips]

Hey, does anyone know if they have these craft fair sort of things anywhere in florida?

[Rain0sins]

@23cookies92chips Hogtown in Gainesville, hardly but you can get some cool stuff, most of it handmade

[IMakeBoyzJizz]

did she say "welcome to threadhead"

[dragonladyevelyn]

I was afraid also...can i say something? I keep forgetting how to thread my machine..It's a simple brother machine..can anybody help me? I use to take my boys sleepers and take them apart and make new ones out of halloween material when they were babies..you can do that with any clothing..I also made a little halloween costume for his little pooh bear to match his...and no I'm not advanced at all...I dont follow instructions in books..I have to do things my way...

[khaza1wolfgurl]

lol ON TO SEWING CLASSES!!! *doesn't even know how to use a sewing machine yet* but hey, I'm learning :3 (I NEED to learn if I'm gonna start making my own costumes from now on :P )

~khaza-hime

[athenaeye]

This video is really good. I liked the idea of using basting glue to keep the zipper in place while we sew.

[Sereneblaze]

did she use a zipper foot on the machine?

[MissMasala5]

I wondered the same thing.

[MasterMacabre13th]

No Because Remember She Was

Sewing The Backside of The Zipper

[zipper702]

LOL!

[aiklaikvaik]

that woman kept saying threadbangers

lol

xx

[budzizewski]

Thanks so much for the zipper demonstration- I was honestly clueless how to sew zippers before this. Now I'm going to go sew a zipper onto my pillow cover! THANK YOU

[snager80]

thread banger has become too commercialized in the past year, i think. and the projects are easier and there's more public stuff, OH it's STILL a great show, but they seem to tell us how to make really easy things now. that's kinda good, but kinda bad for people who are advanced and don't keep their sewing machines in the grandmother's closets.

[lomotickid]

well...i guess if people were "advanced", they wouldn't really need help from threadbanger. but then again, i disagree that things are easier now. but that's cos i'm not "advanced".

[hipretty]

And how would you propose for one to become a threadbanger, without having had any basic instruction? I can't remember Threadbanger ever stating (even way back before they "became too commercialized") that they are geared for the "advanced" Now that we all know you are completely above "the basics" .....maybe some of us would also like to get some of that!

[snager80]

hey, don't remark on things i said 4 months ago! i barely remember saying it. i was probably talking about how much out of MY range the old stuff was. i don't know, the whole show has changed SO much now. it's all good. easy stuff is easy. i'm lazy. it's all good.

[ThePurplePalace]

Awesome. Now I can try it as it looks so easy to do! Much easier than I was anticipating. THANKYOU!!

[a11229]

AWESOME. It looks very easy with your technique. Thank you so much.

[SceNeRd]

omg! true

thanks so much

its helped a lot

[RID3R013]

what do i do if the zipper is too long!! how do i cut it or hoe should i do it and i cant find the proper zipper size for my jacket

[lorizebell]

just sew a 'stopper' and cut off the excess zipper :)

[RID3R013]

thank you!

[trumanthecat]

Thanks for the helpful, clear instructions on installing a zipper!

It's also fun to see the first piece and "cool kids" sewing...hardly a granny in sight!

[rockerlim]

I'd love it if you could make a tutorial on a DIY vest thing...

[star30032]

i cannot believe how easy that was! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[ursousa]

I think that zipper vid was one of the easiest I have ever seen..I am not scared of zippers now cool thanks guys

[igiveup221]

One of the better videos/tutorials for sewing in a zipper! Thanks!

[alysania]

That is AWESOME. I've always been intimidated by zippers, but not anymore.  THANK YOU!

[wingnut3005]

Thank you thank you thank you. I am going to finish my dress now, complete with zipper.

[Davylp]

Did anyone see that necklace at the beginning that the chick with the hat was wearing, it looked like she made it out of a wall plug cover thing, that was dope? Anyone know how she made it? Message me, I will forget I posted this? lol

[disembodiedMind]

Davylp, I don't see a wall plate for an electrical receptacle; but there is a keyhole plate for a lock, worn as a pendant (best seen ~1:00). It's silver-toned (nickel-plated, maybe) and the sort of thing you might see on a cabinet door or drawer.

An electrical plate might be better for a belt buckle, in my opinion. ;} Good luck.

Threadbanger folks, thx for the stimulating d.i.y. inspiration.

[Altofah]

WOW Thanks!!!

[Altofah]

WOW Thanks!!!

[NooJB]

Helpul and easy to understand!

[NooJB]

Helpul and awesome...esay step and easy to understand!!

[degavabu]

AWESOME

[wat3r]

great detailed example of how to sew a zipper!

thank you

[KateMcFaul]

I used a zipper foot because I have one, but you could use a regular foot - or even hand sew. And I sewed a seam that was 1/4 of an inch away from each side of the seam. So what I ended up with was the middle of the zipper peeking through the seam (the part that I cut away) and two seams running down either side of that seam (about 1/4" away). Does that help?

[melissawender]

Awesomely easy to understand for the most part. But I don't understand the part where you're actually sewing the zipper in. What kind of foot? And what do you mean about the quarter inch? I'm a total novice -- can you tell? But I guess anyone scared of zippers probably is, right?

[liquidcocaine77]

thk u!! my so-called teacjer made it so complicating.. this is so easy!!

[nerdymisfit]
