Best.Invisible.Zipper.Tutorial.EVER

I showed you this skirt last week.

The only real change that I made to the pattern was using an invisible zipper instead of a lapped zipper.

I’ve decided that invisible zippers are just prettier.  I also think they are easier to install.

When I was ready to install my invisible zip, I realized that my “go to” invisible zipper foot would not work with my current machine.  Ugh!  Thanks to the Coats and Clark blog, I was directed to this fabulous post.  She doesn’t use an invisible zipper foot, but instead one with a big toe like you find with most machines.

Her tutorial is simple to understand and easy to follow.  Run, don’t walk, and check it out.  It will change the way you finish skirts forever!!!
