    Love the idea of using a fork to put on the zipper head, What a great idea!

    I have watched this video more times than you can imagine.. I still cannot do this! I can get one side or the other but not two at once…. Fork too big? Leverage? Any help please.

      Hi Kathleen! Are you using the appropriate size zipper heads for the zipper tape?

  4. Dona says:

    Your videos are enormously helpful, thank you! I have been wondering how to add the zipper head to zipper tapes because I’d like to buy the coils and make my own. Plus the variety is much more awesome! Also, you do an excellent job of teaching and I am so happy to have recently found your site here and on YouTube. I am so ready to improve my bag making skills and techniques. Where I live, in southern Oregon, there are a lot of quilters, but bag making classes are not available. So online it is! Thanks again, you and your sweetie rock it!

    I have used zipper rolls, you make it look easier than it is….but I haven’t done the fork trick…..I’ll try it tomorrow!
    How can you be so young AND so smart! 🙂

    First time, tried with the plastic fork; was tricky until I noticed where to insert the zipper head. It was tricky though! Thanks!
