Introduction
Over time, zippers tend to wear out. Zippers can eventually separate while closing, causing the slider to unhook from one side of the chain. With this guide, you will be able to fix your zippers quickly and prevent them from wearing out for a while. You will be able to continue to use your favourite items and clothing. It is also a great way to save money! Before starting this guide, make sure your slider is in fairly good shape. If the slider is broken or almost worn out, you will need to replace it.
-
-
Check the opening of the slider to see if it is too wide.
-
Use the pliers to lightly tighten the slider on each side.
-
-
-
Place the scissors horizontally at the bottom of the chain that is not connected to the slider.
-
Make a small cut of about 3 millimetres.
-
-
-
In order to set up the needle and thread, you will need to take about 70 centimetres of thread and pull it halfway through the hole at the bottom of the needle. Make sure both sides of the thread are equal lengths and bring them together.
-
Tie the loose end of the thread into an overhand knot. This is where you make a loop and pull the thread through it.
-
-
-
Starting at the opposite side of the cut, weave the thread under and over the zipper.
-
While staying in one spot, weave and tug at the thread to close the hole.
-
-
-
When the hole looks covered completely, loop the thread and sew the needle through it to finish sewing.
-
Cut off excess thread and check if the zipper is working.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
