I will check out the tutorial you have highlighted and made it clear it is a winning tutorial. I find it rather funny on my end that I did not think of trying the glue; I use the glue for holding bindings, applique pieces and even paper pieced fabrics all in place. The glue makes everything so much easier. Thank you so much for sharing this method! I will try it on my next zipper project.

I also think (and it's been a few months since I made a cushion so I'm trying to remember) that if the zip is on the bottom it doesn't feed properly so I stitch with the zip on top. Makes it hard to topstitch sometimes, but it works better for me.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309316809508680467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-51701960201072032822017-01-17T16:16:39.630-06:002017-01-17T16:16:39.630-06:00I used to be awesome at sewing zippers decades ago...I used to be awesome at sewing zippers decades ago, but then I went back to teaching full time. Plus we started getting clothing made in China and it was almost cheaper to buy clothing than it was to sew it given the amount of time I had to sew. I am totally out of practice. I so appreciate this tutorial!
