Fork Trick to Put Zipper Heads On Zipper Yardage

[juliez]

Thanks for your video! I’ve seen a few videos that show how to use a fork and it never made any sense to me and didn’t work. Your video, however, shows exactly what you are doing in a beautiful close up, and it makes perfect sense to me now!!

I was struggling to put the pull on the zipper tape...and was having a horrible time with the head wiggling all over...and then I found your video showing your trick with the fork...and it solved my problem!!! I was able to finish my project that I wasn't sure I'd be able to until I found your secret! Thank you so much!

Always just wondered how those work, now I know. Lady, you did a great presentation, no music, concise, right to the point and a good camera view. THANKS.

Just fixed a canopy party tent zipper using your video! It took a bit of "jiggling" as you said it would, but I just saved a lot of money on either replacing the zipper or replacing the tent side! This was wonderful!!! Thanks so much.

You know, there's a lot going wrong in this world, and a sizable amount of it on this website, but this dad who's just trying to fix his son's pajamas is monumentally grateful that there is such a person as the zipper lady who knows all the tricks to zippering and then puts videos of it out for the world to see when they need to fix their son's pajamas.

Many many years ago I saw your video. I remembered I had this zipper roll I bought at the Pacific International Quilt Show in my bottom drawer. I could never figure out how to attach the darn pulls so there it sat for years. Your video fixed all that. Works like a charm. My mother-in-law gave me her mother's silver set and has beautiful salad forks. That's what I use. Thank you again

I was on a deadline making a bag and in the middle of the project the zipper came off the tape.Tried for a long time to get it on but it wasn't happening. I ordered a zipper jig online - when it arrived it was the wrong size. Saw this video and got my fork and clamp and voila' - my zipper is back on the tape! THANK YOU so much for making and posting this video- it was extremely helpful!

A quote I'll never forget for magically fixing zippers is "give it a little jiggle" - worked like a charm! Thank you Zipper Lady!

OMG..this trick is amazing.. thank you.. just saved myself 40cm of new zipper as i pulled the slider off by accident when sewing it into a new project. I don't have a lot of money so its saved me money. thank you. the Fork is my new best sewing notion ::)

I used to spend a lot of time trying to get the pulls on. Your idea is GENIUS! Muchas gracias! Now the cushion covers will be finished faster!

I can't believe your fork trick works!!! Thank you so much! Had to bend a fork to get to three tines, but it works. I was struggling with getting one side on and then not getting the other on! Reading to take it to a repair place to have it fixed. Success!

OMG.. THIS HACK WOULD HAVE SAVED ALOT OF MY TIME IF I HAD SEEN THIS VIDEO LONG BACK....
THANK YOU

You are the first one that worked after watching over 20 videos on how to replace the zipper pull. Thank you!

This has got to be the tip of the century! thank you so much zipper lady - I already had "the tummy" and I was so happy to find a 3 tine fork in my drawer. It didn't take me long to put all my zipper pulls onto my continuous tape and I am truly away laughing. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! My backpack that I've been carrying for almost 5 years now and the zipper broke, I thought I would have to buy a new one because looking on YouTube I couldn't find anybody that helped me with the problem I had, until I saw this video, and it worked perfectly! now I can keep my backpack and use it like always.

Thank you! The bigger sizes are easy, even without the fork. #3 is the most difficult.

Best demo on fork as third hand installing zips. And you added a brief demo on the correct zipper heads for different teeth/coils.

[betsygreacen]

Wahoo!! Almost gave up - then found this. Phew! Might survive zippers after all. Thank you so much for posting this!!

[JamesBorgardt]

Really helpful! Especially ther repetitive nature of her approach. Helped me stay on task (with patience) until I was able to "wiggle" the zipper head on. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, I’ve just repaired my zipper within 3 minutes while watching your video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
