Zippers are a common feature of our everyday clothing, but when it comes to sewing, we're all afraid those zipper teeth might actually bite. In this fun and fascinating lecture, designer Jim Suzio will take you beyond the zipper foot. Whether you are making a fancy dress or handbag with pockets, zippers can be used for function and as a design element. Starting with common zipper types, you will see a variety of methods for zipper installation, including an invisible zipper for evening wear and industrial zippers in sportswear. Learn essential skills such as why it may be better to use a longer zipper and how to adjust it's length with a professional finish.
