I spent an hour trying to put a slider back on a sleeping bag I borrowed from a friend. I was about to cry when I looked through the Internet. 2 minutes later the slider was back on and I can return this without worries. Thank you.

11 years after you first put this video on KZread and this (non-sewing) Gramma just learned a valuable trick! Thanks so much!

AMAZING TUTORIAL!!!! Thank you so much for sharing tricks of the trade that make a world of a difference!! My wife has accidentally pulled the zipper slider off a brand new couch pillow while washing its cover. We hadn’t been able to sit on our new couch for a week. Haha. Less than 15 min after I saw this video- couch pillow fixed. “Happy wife happy life.” A million thanks!

Thank you so much! The seamstress wanted more to fix my broken zipper than I paid for my dress. I followed the tutorial and fixed the zipper!!! Whoo hoo....

Thanks so much! You let a broke college student spend the $40 on groceries instead of a new bag!

Thank you!!! Your video was great and presented in an easy-to-understand tone for this inexperienced sewer. I was able to put the slider on in minutes after spending a frustrating hour on this task!

You truly knows your zipper how to troubleshoot the zipper problem inside and outside. Right to the point, short and simple. Thank you.

Thank you so so much!! I was so sad when the slider completely came off my zipper on my backpack, I thought I’d have to toss the bag despite loving it. Thanks to you and your help I was able to get the slider back on to the zipper that was also unzipped, I thought it was in fixable as all other tutorials are about still attached sliders and or still together/closed zippers. So thank you again for helping me to fix the zipper and be able to continue to use my backpack!! Thank you so much! 😊💕

Thank you! It worked like a charm. I used a pair of scissors to trim the nylon "track".

The ideas you give still work like charms, I tried to put it back in from the top, and it worked. You helped me fix my mum's jacket this winter. Thanks a lot... really all thanks to you.

You sir are my hero! Spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out my mattress cover zipper after removing it to wash. Watched your video and was fixed and ready for bed 10 minutes later! Cheers

Thank you! Fixed my Canon camera bag with your help. It's been out of commission for years in the closet!

Watching your video enabled me to save a coat from the dust bin. Thank you! I checked out your other videos and the web site too. Pretty cool stuff. Makes me want to go design something that uses zippers. Those paper-clip carriage pull tabs are just waiting to become trendy. Love it.

Thank you! You saved my beach bag. I took it to the cleaners, they didn't want to touch it. I was going to toss it and buy a new one. I googled and saw your video and didn't realize how easy it was. Mine was the tricky part where the zipper tracks had separated. I watched this and I fixed it. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤

I know these videos are 10 years old but in case you’re still reading the comment I just want you to know that I have a very expensive down coat with a zipper that was blowed out and I was definitely trying to send it back to have it replaced for $100 or more is how they put it. After watching your video I just squeezed the ends of the slider down a little bit and amazingly that fixed my problem!! I thought the whole zipper was ruined and I don’t know how many coats I’ve thrown out over the years for the same problem of the zipper separating. I just wanted to say thank you very much for getting this $450 jacket back in service without sending it off.

I am so so grateful for this tutorial, my son’s school bag zipper came off at school today and his teacher kept apologizing as I picked him up. I was thinking I’d have to send him to school with a plastic bag full of his belongings until I was able to buy him a new one. I did the reversal and got it the very first time, I’ll just have to see the end so that it doesn’t come off the tracks again. Thank you thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this video! You have no idea, how badly I needed this.

Man you rock!!!! I hadn't used my fly rod in over two years because the zipper on the case came off the track and I was afraid I'd lose some gear... after watching this video I was able to fix it before I watched it a second time! Thanks a lot!!!!

My fav bag has been Brocken for 7 years and no one could ever fix and you just helped me fix it !!

Hi Hyrum! I'm so happy to have found this video and your excellent instructions. Although the video is now 10 years old it is absolutely relevant!

Hyrum, I have a pair of insulated cover-alls that my (now deceased) father-in-law gave me years ago. They're old but in great shape and expensive to replace now. The metal zipper had come last year and I searched several places in town trying frantically to find someone to repair it. No luck! I set them aside for the summer in despair that they were ruined. Now that winter is back I decided that make one last effort to fix it. I came across your video, followed the instructions and... well I'll be, it worked!! I now have my warm, heirloom cover-alls back. Thank you.

What excellent instructions, Hyram. Thank you! I fixed the zipper in less than a minute after watching your video. I can hardly believe it. Now I'm going to sew down the end so this does not happen again.

You can use other tools, however I've found that you have more control what you're cutting with pliers.

Point taken. I would recommend using a set of nippers that are shown in the video and use them to trim the nylon coil. As you begin to trim the only the coil, you will start to see the cord that I'm referring to. Start at the very top of the zipper.

So much easier than I thought it would be. Almost gave up on my tiny project, Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was about to murder something there. Don't worry, I would have picked something inanimate, but still.

Thank you so much for your tutorial. It helped me fix a misplaced slider on my waist pouch! Saved me from tossing it out!

Thank you so much for this video. I spent over an hr trying to fix my zipper without success but found this video and the second method worked. My zipper head is tiny so I wasn’t sure if it would work but it actually did. This saved the cushion cover of my patio chair set.

when the zipper is sewn to the bag, you'll have to decide how much time and money you'll want to spend on repairing it. you may need to do some unstitching and then once you repair the zipper, you'll need to have it mended back together.

I was so annoyed and impatient w/ this tutorial, I just ripped the entire zipper & item I was trying to repair 😂😂😂

I used this on my cello case; it worked fine. I'm not sure what the exact problem Dana was having, but if you cut the gap at the bottom, even though it is a tight space, you can do it just as it shows in the video. Once you get the slider on, be sure to sew up the gap so the slider doesn't come off. A video that actually shows it being done on a garment or bag might be helpful for Dana. And, again, the video leaves out the part about sewing up the gap. If you don't sew it up, the slider could easily come off, but can still be put back on. I don't think you would want it to come off while you are wearing those jeans at a party or at work, so be sure to sew it up.

Of the all zipper fixing videos I've watched, this one helped the most and fixed my problem! Thank you so much for the explanation~

Thank you so much! This was exactly the tutorial I needed to fix a broken zipper. I will remember this skill for a long time!

Like almost any problem, it’s easy to solve when you know how. Knowledge is power. Thank you for making this video.

Goodness me, you made me amazed! I had been trying weeks to reset a zipper. And after watching you it took only few seconds. Thanks a lot and a hug too...

I used the first method to get the slider back on the track of a couch cushion zipper and it took me all of one minute to fix it! I cut only a half-inch of teeth--not the two to three inches advised in the video, which actually looked more like one inch--and had no problems. Thank you so much!

I had no idea there were zipper enthusiasts out there... Got my zipper working! Thanks!

This helped me! First I trimmed around the zipper end with some fabric scissors so that there was just a little nub of zipper sticking out. Then I clamped the zipper end off with the nippers to give me two tails of fabric. Then I held the two tails of fabric taught using one hand and one foot while I maneuvered the zipper with a pair of needle nose pliers. I'm so happy it worked!

Almost spring and the kids glove with zipper broke. Difficult to find a good quality winter glove during this time. Your video helped me understand the basics using which not only did I fix the glove but also my old winter coat who’s zipper won’t close. Thanks for such a great video.

I just spent an hour of sweating in my boat to put a zipper back on to NO avail.When the canvas guy told me to thread in on backwards I thought he meant the mouth!So much time wasted.😮Now I can try it the right way !!!!THANK YOU THANK YOU!This a valuable lessen.

This saved my daughter's expensive backpack. I fixed it using your directions. Thank you!
