Fast and Easy! How to Sew an Invisible Zipper into a Pillow or Cushion

I want to sew in the zipper and have the tapered corners like you show in the no pointy corners video, I have al 18 inch form. Any advice would be appreciatedl

Thank you

Beautiful thank you❤

You made it look so easy, Here I go

Any suggestions how you clean up the hanging thread ? Do you cut it really close or burn it ?

love that. Tried it already and it works.
Thank you.

Best tutorial I found thank you!

Thank you for your helpful tutorial! I am making a cover for a large rectangular bean bag, and think I would like a flange with a zipper - do you have a tutorial with flange / zipper combo?

One more quick question.....what brand and weight thread do you typically use for your pillows and needle? Thank you in advance!

I love your videos! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!

Hi there, I'm finding that the fabric is shifting when I'm sewing the two layers or the zipper onto the fabric, do you know if there's anything I can do to stop this from happening. One piece of fabric ends up being slightly longer once sewn, that the other piece. Thank you, Katie

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was a new technique for me. Very beautiful outcome. 😊🥰💯

Also wondering why you already have added a tab to the end of that zipper. Is to help keep it together and from pulling apart once installed?

I am so confused! I thought this was using a regular zipper, but just making it invisible, but I guess I am figuring out that you are using an invisible zipper! I wish I hadn't cut my fabric out yet. I guess I have to use one of those awful lapped zippers!

Thank you so much for your videos. They are all excellent and help us sewers so much!

Great demonstration! Could you show how to put a zipper into a piped cushion sometime? I really like a piped cushion but always struggle inserting a zipper. Thank you :)

I'm new to sewing and your videos are very helpful, thank you! I would like to make a large gusseted throw cushion but without any piping, just a strip of fabric all the way round to form the gusset. Do you have any tips for me please?

Great job I'm a visual person so it makes sense. Thanks again 😊

You don’t mention the little white tab sewn on the top part of the open zipper.

Hi! Do you mind sharing where you purchase the zipper tape? The end piece looks much nicer than the ones I’m seeing online. Can you cut it with regular scissors? Thanks!

Can you use an “all-purpose zipper” for this method?

Your video is terrific! I have a new machine and don’t have a special invisible zipper foot. I’m going to try out your methods. I’m actually in the middle of making throw pillows for my grandchildren and invisible zippers will be a good way to go.
I’m wondering, why did you only put the fabric tab on one end of the zipper? Would you suggest a fabric tab or just sewing over the zipper on the other end just in case the zipper got that far?

This worked beautifully, thank you! My only problem was that I didn’t notice that you pulled the tails of the zipper out away from the pillow. I had to re-do them ends. Yet it came out very nicely!

Great tutorial

This is going to sound pathetic, and it might well be. I had seven dresses in my closet all sewn to perfect form, except for one thing, you guessed it, I didn’t know how to put in the zipper! Because I thought it was going to be difficult, I just didn’t put them in, hence, I had seven unfinished dresses. You made it look so easy to put the zipper on the pillow that I used your technique on my dresses. In a matter of 2 to 3 hours, I had seven brand new dresses in my collection!
Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with me. Your very professional, well lit and well paced videos (NOT sewn rapid-fire paced)are informative and easy to understand, the directions are clear; a boon to sewers like myself! Thank you!

Wonderful video and love all the little tips. Thank you!! I've subscribed!!

Soooo lovely you have a quiet machine. Very many chatter noisily, and or Beep (BabyLock), which is frustrating. Yours is very subtle ❤️

So helpful thank you......

Super helpful tutorial! Im having to put a lining in a pillowcase for a customer so I'm trying to figure out how to do this except with a lining and have it still look good and professional. Any suggestions would be super helpful as I have yet to find a tutorial for that situation. I know it isn't typical to line a pillowcase. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! So easy to understand and follow. I love all your videos since I'm a pretty much self-taught sewer.

THIS VIDEO! is far superior to the ones (plural) of all and any I've watched on subscription crafting websites! THANK YOU for making and doing wonderful production of visuals and explanations.

How old is that machine? I love it, my mom had one like that

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You are a great tutor, I could understand the concept and execution (normally I just follow instructions and see what happens) but you are very clear, which is not easy when showing this ⭐️

Great video. Are you also using your tapered corner method here and do you apply this on every corner?

What is that white patch at one end of zipper?

Do you still taper the corners the same way when using an invisible zipper ?

This is the 5th invisible zip video I’ve watched and is easily the best, you have demystified the process. Many thanks.

Thank you so much I haven’t sewn in awhile I needed a refresh course

Thanks for sharing, was helpful to me ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Zippers intimidate the heck out of me and it’s ridiculous since I've been sewing basic stuff for decades. This is a great tutorial, thanks so much!

Many years ago, when I was in Home Ec class and dinosaurs were roaming the earth, I gave up learning how to sew in an invisible zipper; because it was too SCARY!! This video, so many years later, has taken away that fear.

Great instructions! A really great video-sound quality was great, visual was great. Although a lifetime sewer, for some reason I was intimidated about doing an invisible zipper, which I knew was silly. Your instructions are so clear and easily understood-I’m ready to go! Many thanks! Your finished pillows looked beautiful!

Thank you very much for this easy to follow tutorial! I wanted a zipper in my granddaughter's new Book pillow, just in case. ;)
Thank you for saying it is easy, you are right

Thank you so much for sharing this idea. Now, I found the best way to do it, hopefully it won’t be hard for me. 😍

Very easy to follow and the end result was beautiful

This is a great video! How do you know what size zipper you should use for a pillow?

Great tutorial! Something needs some lubricant. That squeaking! 😱

Thank you so much! I have learned so much from your videos.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It really gives a perfect finish not putting the zip to the very ends. And the marking up tip is great for quickly lining everything up, which is great if you've got a lot to do.
