Meet Callie and begin with a classic centered zipper application with the seam basted closed. Callie teaches you to place the zipper correctly, secure it with double-sided tape, and stitch it evenly without any bumps around the zipper pull.
A lapped zipper adds a tailored touch that's perfect for skirts, pants and dresses; Callie shows you how easy it is to prepare your seam correctly and stitch the zipper.
Finally, Callie shares her secrets for inserting an invisible zipper with no special presser foot required. Learn to press the zipper coils before inserting, stitch close to the zipper teeth, and create a smooth join when you stitch the seam below the zipper.
