Zipper tips and tricks
I am in the process of sewing a zipper with a fly into a
pair of pants that I copied for DH and would like to know if anyone would want to share thier favorite way of doing this. I have made several of these pants, but was wondering if there might be a better, faster or simpler way. Does anyone want to contribute? |

Does anyone want to contribute? the method in the Singer book, Sewing Pants (p. 98)is the best I've found Penny S |

I use Sullivan's "Glue Pins" for almost all of my zipper installations now. They turn out well and it is faster than messing with basting - ugh! Just squeeze a bead, press it down, wait ten minutes and sew. Washes out in laundry. Bought it at Hancock's for about $6. B~ |

I have no favourite way of doing zippers - I just follow the instructions that either come with the zipper or in the pattern directions. How do you do them? and what would be better? or how much is faster? AmazeR |

AmazeR reposted: the method in the Singer book "Pants that fit" is by far the easiest and most professional fly zipper installation i know of. Penny S |
