I snagged my favorite jeans and found this. My first thought was--this is BRILLIANT and it's so dang simple. My second thought was--okay dummy why didn't I already think of this? MR FIX IT, you just got yourself a new sub. Thank you!

Saved me a massive headache on a beanbag chair cover I have with a zipper that constantly breaks! I’ve been brute forcing it back on track up until now. I decided to just leave the cut open so I can repair it when it inevitably breaks again :D

Zipper just came off track at work, and this video helped. Thanks. Worked like a charm.

Thank you for this helpful and informative tutorial! I had a zipper malfunction while on a roadtrip and with only two pairs of pants packed and no tailor for miles, I was very relieved to find this video and repair the zipper myself.

Wow, thank you! Insanely helpful. I can’t believe I’m just learning this in my mid-thirties. I was about to toss my daughter’s bean bag cover, but just fixed it. Thank you!
