The zipper has always been a problem for me, but the video was very easy to follow . Thank you for showing me how to put in a zipper the right way.

The tutorial was great for skirts. I’d love to see zippers put in couch pillows and things like stuffed animals or sleeping bags. Many of us are fixers and creators but may not be making clothes. I couldn’t find anything on here for cushions or pillow zippers.
