@@SewingPartsOnline Thank you!! Suck a quick response. I am smart to sub with alerts because your vids are so helpful. I will check your referral and consider the dreaded replacement. A placket with snaps or buttons might be ok too.
MAKE SURE YOU CUT THE CORRECT SIDE OF THAT LINE!!!! 😳😖🤦♀️ don't lay it down then pick it up later to cut off the excess, trim it immediately. that's all i'm gonna say 🤐
I have always just sewn a tack by hand, using a heavy thread, and removed the bulky metal teeth as needed.
That works! Next, I am making a video on shortening a metal zipper. ☺ Do you save your stops and reuse them after?
