    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.

    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.

    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
