Ignore the rude comments - they are just trolls looking for attention. All of us here to actually learn how to do this are very grateful for you intricate explanations. Thank you! I definitely want to try an invisible zipper now.
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely message and for being so kind. I am grateful for your lovely comment and am pleased that you and hopefully others feel that way. Thank you so much! Good luck with your sewing. Aneka :-))
@@elenac7933 there are absolutely rude comments. Many people complained about the length of the video and called it boring. I wouldn't say "there are no bad comments" if you only looked at the top comments 3 years after this person commented.
this was amazing. I paused, pinned, went back, rewatched, a number of times and came out with a lovely zipper. Could not have asked for a more clear tutorial
This is the best tutorial! I was worried about sewing an invisible zip and found a lot of the videos and tutorials confusing. This is clear, detailed and not rushed. My zip came out perfect!!
Wow, that is very kind of you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am really pleased that you enjoyed the tutorial and found it useful. Thank you. All best with your zips! Aneka :-))
The best spent 43 minutes of my life - clear and patient explanation, contrasting colours, good light and clear camera angle all made this tutorial very easy to follow. No more wasted time unpicking and replacing zips for me - thankyou.
this tutorial was very refreshing, to hear a British voice not American was a joy, clear and concise instructions without the usual waffling on. I do hope you continue to make more tutorials on professional finishes Thank You xxx
I wish I had seen this sooner. As with all your tutorials, it is clear and well-paced, following the training mantra: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them what you need to tell them, tell them what you've told them". You are a pleasure to watch, a pleasure to hear and a pleasure to be taught by. Thank you.
This was the BEST invisible zipper tutorial. You not only teach exactly how to do it, you give so many nuggets on why and what could go wrong and how to correct it if it does. Thank you so much for all the detail in this!!
These are the very best tutorials on UA-cam. Thank you so much. I rewatch them.. no distracting music, very clear instructions.. taking nothing for granted.. excellent camera work. I have watched many tutorials about sewing techniques.. and yours are the best.
I'm a beginner and self taught and this tutorial has helped me through two invisible zippers so far! I can imagine I'll keep coming back to watch it whenever I sew one until I feel comfortable with them, it's super helpful and everything is well explained. Such a lifesaver!
If you’re still reading comments, Thank You!! You saved my dress project from a very poorly-designed, poorly executed PDF pattern which had, as a final construction step, the invisible side zip (specifically required) installed like a regular one. What a mess. Of the many sewing videos I’ve watched for various techniques, yours is far and away the clearest. Subscribed!
INCREDIBLE video!! For those of us learning, know that we appreciate the clear detail you go into, it makes the sometimes complicated world of sewing far easier and more accessible. Thank you!
As a seamstress who has installed hundreds of invisible zippers, I can say this is an excellent tutorial for someone learning how to put one in. I don't know why, but I still get an amazing sense of satisfaction when I look at the finished install. They really are easier than regular zippers and you get such a professional look.
You have the most amazing speaking voice that I have ever heard. I don't think I've ever had such a fabulous tutorial in my life. This is the best zip tutorial in all of You Tube. Thank you so so much for this wonderful instruction.
You are simply amazing - best teacher ever! I am in a foreign country where I cannot find sewing classes in English, at least not from anyone who is an expert. I so much appreciate your tutorials, in fact, I think your videos are better than anything I could get live. The pace if perfect for my level and I like the detailed explanations, which I find useful and NOT too wordy. You are so generous to do this for free. Thank you!
Wow!! You are an amazing UA-cam tutorialist. If they had annual awards you'd be a shoe-in. I've watched many sewing tutorials over the years, many very good, but you are amazing!! So thorough and clear. Thanks so much for your time. Much appreciated!
Hi Tatum, this is such a lovely message. Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. You have made my day! 🥰 Just pleased I could help. 💛
I find that Annieke's instructions are so clear. She is so precise and her intonation is so clear. Well done for a brilliant lesson which covers even the faults that can be made and how to recover from them. Thank you!
Watching this from thousands of miles away and I can imagine how amazing it would be to learn from you in person!! But the way you've made this video is so close to learning in person! One of the best online tutorials that I have ever seen. Thank you so much!
Zippers have already been a mystery to me. I've had several teachers try to explain it and they go over things so fast that I don't understand it, but in 42 minutes you took your time and not only did I sew (successfully) my first zipper, I did an invisible one!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
This is amazing to hear - thank you so much for your lovely, positive review. I am SO pleased that I helped you crack it - this has made my day. Aneka xx
Thank you for such a wonderfully detailed explanation on invisible zippers. All aspects and possible disasters were addressed so clearly. Feeling alot more confident now to tackle a new sewing technique.
I saw 4 other invisible zippers on UA-cam, this video is the best one. Thank you for using Metric as well, for us in Australia it helps so much- even though I've been sewing casually for 40 years. regards, from Brisbane Australia
Hi Anthony, that is really very kind of you to say. I am so pleased that you found it useful and I wish you all the best sewing zips in the future. Thanks, Aneka
You couldn't have said it better, you're the best teacher I've ever came across, you're, you're number one, thanks very, very much for sharing, god bless you
I don’t even plan on sewing a zipper. The most i can do on a sewing machine is hem, but this video was explaining it so well that I couldn’t stop watching it. It didn’t even feel long at all. I actually enjoyed it because I felt like I was really learning something.
I love it! Beneficial to us who didn't had a formal training❤️💚 looking forward for more tutorials. Thank you and may the Lord bless you as you help others❤️❤️❤️
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen on how to put in an invisible zipper. I am so grateful to be able to find it. The instructions are clear and the photos are excellent. Totally easy to follow.
Top notch tutorial with clear explanations including optional basting, tacking and machine feet, fantastic videography and additional tutorials for plaid fabrics. Daniel
I haven’t put in an invisible zipper in 20 years. I’ve ripped it out 8 times I think. I’ve been watching UA-cam tutorials, struggling for about 8 hours. Ready to give up and put a lapped zipper in, but I felt my daughter’s wedding dress deserved a invisible zipper. I walked away from it to clear my head. Then your tutorial came across. So I watched it. You are a born teacher! You not only explain clearly how to do it, but how it works and some things to expect. I feel very confident I can do this now. I think it will still be difficult because of the lining. But I think I can. I wish I had found yours first. I look forward to finding more things from you once these dresses for the wedding are out of the way. 😉 Thank you for teaching.
Love this tutorial - it's so detailed, I feel like you are with me every time I put my invisible zipper on! Thanks so much for making this such a comprehensive video. I have sewed a number of invisible zips now and would have had no idea without your help!
Aneka, you're such an amazing teacher, not everyone who can sew teaches sewing as well as you do! I really can't thank you enough for all your detailed tutorials; God bless 🙏🙏🙏
You are an amazing teacher. I am so happy I found your videos on You Tube. I have never had formal instructions on how to sew and in watching your videos you have answered so many of my questions. Thank you and please continue to share your expertise.
Hi Luanne, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am so pleased that you like my tutorials and have learned some new techniques. Thank you. Aneka :-))
Excellent video! It's been ages since I have sewn anything and an invisible zipper was always a challenge. Her method makes it easier and I will no longer fear it. My daughter doesn't like most patterns on dresses out there so I have been recruited to sew a few. Beyond zippers I used to be very good. Now I am ready to get started again to custom make a few aline short sleeved dresses. Thank you so much! I appreciate your articulate instructions, great photography and thankfully no annoying background music to distract. A+++ video!
Great video! I've been sewing a lot of years and a great zipper install can not be rushed. Believe me when I tell you it sometimes takes longer than this to get a zipper right. I find your videos to be extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who need it.
I finally sewed my first invisible zipper today! Great success. This is the only video where I had the “ah-ha” moment of “I can do this”. Thank you so much!
At 62, I’m just learning to sew, and my first project is a dress with an invisible zipper. Out of many videos on this subject, yours is THE BEST!! I’m no longer scared to death that I’ll end up with a VISIBLE zipper!! LOL!!!
Your detailed instructions were GREAT! First zipper foot I've ever done and just followed you step by step sewing along the way to completion. My project came out fantastic!
I have been sewing for nearly 40 years but have never done an invisible zip. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of how to do it - I feel a lot more confident to try.
Hi Helen, thank you for your lovely message. I am SO pleased you enjoyed it and I have been able to help you master the invisible zipper. Thank you and good luck with your sewing. Aneka x
This is the best explanation of how to sew an invisible zipper. I watched quite a few other videos but never understood how to align the zipper teeth with the sawing line. But with your video I finally got it! Thousand thanks for this great explanation!
I've just sewn my first excellent invisible zip!!!! I found this so easily to follow and finally understand just what it is I'm doing. Thank you so much.
“Just be positive. You’re always learning”. This will now be my mantra! Thankyou so much for another great tutorial. Going to follow this step by step for my first zip today. 😊
Thank you. after watching a bunch of 2 minute videos on putting in invisible zippers, I was confused to say the least. So glad I found your video. So clear, thank you. I watched, rewound and watched again, I still got the first side of the zip in the wrong way! NOT because of the video, my bad, fortunately I had hand basted because of needing to match seams. Whipped it out and did it again, had to do some adjustments so the seams would match but then perfect, I'm so pleased with the results. I don't have an invisible zipper foot, but I think I'll purchase one. Thank you again for such a clear and understandable video
This is an amazing tutorial! Your explanations were so clear and even allowed a total newbie to understand how these zippers worked. I was able to sew a very nice invisible zipper in my prom dress thanks to you!
I watched this video twice and was inspired to practice sewing a zipper on left over pieces of quilting fabric. It turned out pretty good! I feeling confident enough to sew a zipper on a skirt. Thank you for this great tutorial.
I followed your instructions today and inserted my first concealed zip. I actually found it easier than a normal zip. I am going to use concealed zips from now on. Thank you so much.
Oh I am so pleased. Yes I agree that they are easier and look more professional than normal zips. So pleased that I could help you. Best Wishes, Aneka x
Excellent tutorial. Easy to follow along. Accurate instructions and we'll taught. I searched many before finding this one and glad I took the time to keep looking. Thank you.🇬🇧
Thank you! Your directions are clear, very precise, and delivered in a calm and comfortable rate of speed. And I love your accent! I like that you remind us of pitfalls to watch out for several times, and present different ways to think of inserting the zipper tape (the open book). The results are truly professional looking. Thank you again! ❤
I found this extremely helpful because I was just struggling to put an invisible zipper on a dress I am making. I can't thank you enough for your help.
Oh bless you that's very sweet. We try and keep it tidy so it's always enjoyable and clean for our students - but some days are better than others :-))!
Great instruction. Between your video and another one online, I'm happy to say I mastered invisible zippers - sewing into pillow forms specifically. Your tips especially at the end about changing feet from the invisible zipper foot to the regular zipper foot to sew the very top and bottom of the zipper - excellent. I did that, I switch from the invisible zipper to the regular zipper foot then to my regular pressed foot to finish it off. I'm somewhat a perfectionist, and I have to say, thanks to your video instruction, they look spectacular. THANKS TO YOU!!!
Bless you, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely message. I am so pleased I could help you, and you have managed to get a perfect invisible zip. Like you I am a perfectionist and things have to be 'just so', with a professional finish. Wishing you all the best, Aneka x
Aneka, thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial which explains the process very clearly. Now I am ready to tackle putting the invisible zip in my cushion and watching this video has certainly helped to refresh my memory.
+Jane Wilkie I am ever so pleased that you found it useful and a help to re-cap the steps. I wish you all the best finish the cushion covers. I look forward to seeing a picture!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on inserting a concealed zip, it was most helpful. I have to adjust a bridesmaid dress my granddaughter is wearing (it was purchased abroad by the bride and is far too big) and it has a concealed zip which I will have to remove and insert again once I have taken the dress in and in all my years of sewing (54) I have never encountered a concealed zip! Or rather I think I may have steered clear of it. You explain it so thoroughly and clearly and the photography is wonderful. You have a real gift for properly explaining. Thank you so much for teaching an old dog a new trick.
Hello Phyllis, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am so pleased that you like my video and style of explaining. I wish you all the best with the adjustment, but I am sure that you will do a beautiful job. Best, Aneka
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! My first zip ever is finished :D I managed to change a really badly inserted in-your-face zipper on an old dress made by my mom in the 70's or the 80's that I'm refashioning into a crop top + skirt set for myself. The whole thing being very far from perfect, and me a beginner at sewing, I can't say it went smoothly... but after a lot of measuring, unpicking and restitching the skirt got a beautiful invisible zip!
This is the BEST video tutorial on this topic that I have found. And I LOVE your accent! So patient and clear with instructions as well as possible issues that are encountered with solutions. Simply amazing!
People who disliked this video (though I paid lakhs of rupees to learn this technique I dint get such a beautiful demo n explanation with such patience..) are truly jealous or may be they are unable to do so.. they are failures in general!! I wish I had found this video a couple of years ago ❤️ lots of love and keep teaching us ❤️ from India
This is the best tutorial for positioning an invisible zipper. It works like magic. I just tried it and the zipper looks professional. Thanks so much Aneka.
I can’t thank you enough for this, and every other video you’ve made. I’ve just sewn my first invisible zip after watching this video, and it’s perfect. Thank you for your incredibly detailed, concise instruction.
Thank you for this clearly explained tutorial. You are indeed the best zipper teacher.😅 I managed to sew my zipper beautifully just by following your clip and tips!! You do repeat steps and warn us of pitfalls, and all that help us beginners.
What a lifesaver! This tutorial was so clear and clever. I had to do the 2nd side of the zip three times before I got it right, but loved the advice not to panic and it was 3rd time lucky when i flipped the fabric. Brilliant clear instructions and video. THANK YOU!
I have just put in my first invisible zipper, using this tutorial. It s extremely helpful. The detailed explanation helps to keep me on track, as they tell me exactly what to look out for. I have used several of your videos and they have greatly contributed to my sewing experience. Keep it up.
This is my always problem when sewing, always with the invisible zip, I hope I can do this perfectly after few practice like what you said. I just want a professional finish. As always thank you for sharing this video, I enjoyed learning.
So pleased to have found your site. Your video is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much. I look forward to following you on your other videos.
I know you made this 8 years ago, but in case you’re still seeing comments, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!

Wendy I do agree ❤
I followed your instructions today and inserted my first concealed zip. I actually found it easier than a normal zip. I am going to use concealed zips from now on. Thank you so much.
Oh I am so pleased. Yes I agree that they are easier and look more professional than normal zips. So pleased that I could help you. Best Wishes, Aneka x
Excellent tutorial. Easy to follow along. Accurate instructions and we'll taught.
I searched many before finding this one and glad I took the time to keep looking.
Thank you.🇬🇧
Hi there, so pleased that you like my tutorial and I have been able to help you. Thank you and good luck with your sewing. Aneka
Thank you! Your directions are clear, very precise, and delivered in a calm and comfortable rate of speed. And I love your accent! I like that you remind us of pitfalls to watch out for several times, and present different ways to think of inserting the zipper tape (the open book). The results are truly professional looking. Thank you again! ❤
I found this extremely helpful because I was just struggling to put an invisible zipper on a dress I am making. I can't thank you enough for your help.
Thank you. Really pleased I could help!
Excellent explaination of inserting an invisible zip. Clear, precise & explained what could go wrong & how to rectify. Thank you
Thank you very much Dee. Aneka x
You have the most organized sewing room I've seen on UA-cam.
Oh bless you that's very sweet. We try and keep it tidy so it's always enjoyable and clean for our students - but some days are better than others :-))!
yesss
I rewatched this as a reminder and I got it right without any faffing around..It felt goood! Please never take this video down
Bless you Sherol, that is so kind of you and SO pleased you love the video so much. I don't plan to take it down! Aneka xx
The BEST tutorial ever! THANK YOU! I finally learned how to insert an invisible zipper properly and easily.
Thanks Darlene.
Great instruction. Between your video and another one online, I'm happy to say I mastered invisible zippers - sewing into pillow forms specifically. Your tips especially at the end about changing feet from the invisible zipper foot to the regular zipper foot to sew the very top and bottom of the zipper - excellent. I did that, I switch from the invisible zipper to the regular zipper foot then to my regular pressed foot to finish it off. I'm somewhat a perfectionist, and I have to say, thanks to your video instruction, they look spectacular. THANKS TO YOU!!!
Bless you, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely message. I am so pleased I could help you, and you have managed to get a perfect invisible zip. Like you I am a perfectionist and things have to be 'just so', with a professional finish. Wishing you all the best, Aneka x
Wish I could like it more than once. Wonderfully explained! thank you
That's so kind, thank you. I'm so pleased you have found it to be useful and informative.
Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions. I feel confident now to put in an invisible zip and look forward to more of your videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Aneka, thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial which explains the process very clearly. Now I am ready to tackle putting the invisible zip in my cushion and watching this video has certainly helped to refresh my memory.
+Jane Wilkie I am ever so pleased that you found it useful and a help to re-cap the steps. I wish you all the best finish the cushion covers. I look forward to seeing a picture!
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on inserting a concealed zip, it was most helpful. I have to adjust a bridesmaid dress my granddaughter is wearing (it was purchased abroad by the bride and is far too big) and it has a concealed zip which I will have to remove and insert again once I have taken the dress in and in all my years of sewing (54) I have never encountered a concealed zip! Or rather I think I may have steered clear of it. You explain it so thoroughly and clearly and the photography is wonderful. You have a real gift for properly explaining. Thank you so much for teaching an old dog a new trick.
Hello Phyllis, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am so pleased that you like my video and style of explaining. I wish you all the best with the adjustment, but I am sure that you will do a beautiful job. Best, Aneka
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! My first zip ever is finished :D I managed to change a really badly inserted in-your-face zipper on an old dress made by my mom in the 70's or the 80's that I'm refashioning into a crop top + skirt set for myself. The whole thing being very far from perfect, and me a beginner at sewing, I can't say it went smoothly... but after a lot of measuring, unpicking and restitching the skirt got a beautiful invisible zip!
Wow this sounds incredible, what an amazing project. Glad I could help. Aneka x
This is the BEST video tutorial on this topic that I have found. And I LOVE your accent! So patient and clear with instructions as well as possible issues that are encountered with solutions. Simply amazing!
Thank you so much for your lovely words. Really pleased I could help. Thank you. Aneka x
Thank-you so much. Your explanations helped me understand all the moving parts to place that invisible zipper.
Fantastic news, I am so pleased. Aneka x
People who disliked this video (though I paid lakhs of rupees to learn this technique I dint get such a beautiful demo n explanation with such patience..) are truly jealous or may be they are unable to do so.. they are failures in general!!
I wish I had found this video a couple of years ago ❤️ lots of love and keep teaching us ❤️ from India
Thank you for such a lovely message. Glad you liked it. Aneka 🙏

I love all of you're brilliant tutorials, so clear, thank you.
Thank you Elizabeth, so pleased you enjoy them. Aneka
What a lifesaver! This tutorial was so clear and clever. I had to do the 2nd side of the zip three times before I got it right, but loved the advice not to panic and it was 3rd time lucky when i flipped the fabric.
Brilliant clear instructions and video. THANK YOU!
Hi Carolyn, I am so pleased I could help. Thank you so much! Aneka x
Holy! I never imagined how complicated invisible zippers could be!
Once you have done them a few times they aren't that complicated. Just comes with practise! :-))
They are easy to sew it.
Wow! First time someone actually explains in detail how an invisible zipper is sewn! Thanks!
Thank you! I'm so pleased you have found it useful.
Excellent video. Very clear explanations. Thankyou so much
So pleased you liked the video, thank you for your kind comment.
