 hello Nehzat, I just watched the standard zipper sewing lesson and was wandering why you didn't back stitch at beginning and end. what did you do with the tale threads?

Re: Sewing Zippers

 Dear enasokab,

The reason I did not secure the ends of the threads in the Zipper Sewing Lesson, is that in this lesson the zippers are not being sewn into a project. The lesson shows only how to insert the zippers in the openings.

For example once a zipper is applied to a garment , the top will be sewn into a waistband or facing etc...This way it is secured. Depending on the project the bottom of the zipper will be secured in different ways. In the lessons below you can see different examples of this to get a better idea of what I mean.
