Zipper Installation

Season 13 Episode 1310 | 26m 46s | CC

The Automatic Continuous Clothing Closure, commonly called the zipper, was first invented in 1917. Sewing in a zipper may seem like a daunting task for someone just learning to sew. Though it will take plenty of patience and practice, learning how to do it is worth your time and effort. Peggy’s guest Ella Pritsker demonstrates easy and efficient methods of zipper installation.
