Your work is the best Rudy ! Great video !

[davidbnsmessex.]

Yes, definitely a neat trick cutting zip on the angle ! .

[silvergrizzly]

If it wasn't for zippers we'd be overrun with flies 🤣 Awesome stuff Rudy!!!👍👍

[jadawatson]

Never tried cutting the zipper at an angle. I'll try that on the next project using a zipper. Thanks for the tip.

[QueenBee]

I love it! Growing up poor I always had to make due with what was in front of me, or do without, so I often do things 'outside of the box'. People then try to 'correct me' (doesn't work but oh well LOL). So I love seeing others doing it 'wrong' as it works great. It shows there are many ways to accomplish the same task with different resources.
PS: I love watching your videos. I love your laid back personality and comfort level in your skill. It really shows.

The zipper angle! Great tip, thank you!

I always struggle with zippers and welting, even with a walking welting foot on my sailrite LSZ. It slips off and gives me fits. But maybe I just need more practice.

[Sodabowski]

I also do zippers with the regular foot on my antique hand-cranked 1902 Singer. Nice trick for the angled zipper, thanks!

[earthelder]

That is a great way to do it! Thanks for that tip, I always give you a thumbs up no matter what, because I appreciate what you are doing and you are very good. Thanks!

[ShadowsOnTheScreen]

Liked! I anticipate your videos. Thank you for all your work on these!

[ackroid]

the angle cut is brilliant. I still hate zippers

[RonHelton]

Nice!
That was a neat tip about cutting the zipper at an angle.

[hinspect]

That was a beautiful job on the Zipper!

Have you ever heard of someone re-covering a padded Toilet Seat with taller/firmer Foam and premium Vinyl?

I have been upholstering for 30 years to make it easy we just cut the zipper fabric the same size as the boxing .Then we just bend in half it's a lot easier to sew ..I sew on top with my cord foot

[flyer]

Great video! It's simple and quick, but very effective. Thanks for the continuing education.

[staceyboyd]

Thanks for sharing my friend! Years of trial and error will prevail! Would like to see some tips on how to set up your sewing machine. As in which foot you use to control the machine, how your treadle is set, how you use your knew lift etc. Thx👍

[sunrisetacticalgear]

Thanks Rudy. I learned two things from this, I have never tried cutting the tape on an angle and installing the slider on backwards. I think I could sew the zipper tape like you showed if I marked a “fold to” line on the fabric. You make it look easy.
Thanks for the content

Hey Rudy, absolutely loving your videos so glad I found your channel. I'm just wondering if you have or could make a video about foam selection for upholstery. I have some foam damage in the seats of my truck but I don't know what foam to use to repair it. There are so many different types, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Cheers!

What kind / model sewing machine do you use? I've been using Juki LU563s for many years.
