- The Fold Under & Hem First Approach is a zipper video in the Sewing Zippers 101 Video Series that demonstrates 2 of the most common finished zipper (jacket style zipper) installation methods. These 2 methods are used most often in covers where the zipper is covered or hidden by flaps of fabric. Visit Sailrite to purchase zippers and supplies: www.sailrite.com

Thanks for the clear zipper video. It's so rewarding making projects using your techniques and supplies.
I made my own ultralight camper (basically a tent on a trailer). I studied these videos for a year before I touched a sewing machine. I just wanted to say, a lot of what you teach applies perfectly to ultralight camping folk, tenting folk, caravaners, etc.
Glad we could help.
I'll echo the importance of the match-up marks, especially on a long zipper. I didn't use them when I sewed my first zipper project - a 14' long zipper on a stack pack. Even though I was careful not to stretch the zipper I wound up with an extra 2" of zipper on one side of the stack pack compared to the other! "Time to get the seam ripper out..." lol.
The take-away lesson: Watch all relevant Sailrite videos before tackling a type of canvas project you've never done before. :-)

Thank you so much. I completely agree with Mel Coffman's comment. Your tutorials are great! Simple and straightforward without a whole load of presentation fanfare. I often get confused when presentations are overly 'fluffed' up. It's so easy to learn from your tutorials!
The Shoe-fie Lay Thanks for the positive comments. We will keep them coming!!!

Just wanted to drop a little thank you in here, i have been sewing heavy items for a while now pouches and bags for paint ball and airsoft.
You're channel has really helped me learn a lot of valuable lessons in a short period of time.
You have helped me cover everything from thread and materials to planning and sewing and correct equipment.
Thanks a lot.
Excellent! Glad we could help. Let us know if you have questions about our videos or products at: www.sailrite.com
@@SailriteDIY iam great full to you for the information and the videos series please 🙏 keep making videos beacuse many people would care to know more about this topic i follow from #YSW Domenico Monteleone 🇨🇦 Belated Christmas and New Year's to you and your family and employees from Monteleone family respect back to you
You are very good at explaining, thanks for not dragging it out like some of the others, not that they're not appreciated.
Thanks for the positive comment!
Thank you .you made putting a zib on simple and easy...and your instructions are straight forward.
Thanks for posting! My own little project was simply to replace a broken zipper on a favourite hoodie, and of all the videos this one is the most informative on how these things come together. On a large project like sails i have newfound respect for the level of skill that goes into it!
Yes, you are correct. We did a second video "Sewing Zippers 101: Fold Under Approach (Take 2!)" which explains that procedure. I will place a link to that second video in the description.
You are the creative and brilliant Sailrite team
Thank you i am a better zipper sewer than before. 💘
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so detailed and easy to follow.
I'm making an awning for my campervan as my first major project and your videos have been absolutely invaluable. From showing me how to make seams to fitting zippers, you have a step-by-step video right there for me to use. I'm a complete novice with a sewing machine, but you have given me the confidence to go ahead and give it a try.
I just wish that the voiceover guy at the start and end of your presentations would stop calling your company "saya-right" !!! Dumb I know, but I listen out for it now.
@Sailrite1 zipper 101 was good, I am really looking forward to 102 and 103 . This is "just in time' video production.I hope you are going to cover the best way to put a zipper in that goes from the bottom of a piece to partway up in the central area of an existing piece. (as in an acess zipper ).
I have a pretty good idea that you've been doing this a while. I use a tape equivalent to your basting tape when I do regular sewing - can't imagine not using it.
Yes, using seamstick basting tape (double sided tape) is a real time saver and it makes the job much easier. Thanks!!!
I love seeing how different people use things
Excellent. A good video to have bookmarked to come back to for tech data. I use the heck out of that tape from you guys in two widths... a roll seems to last forever and it sticks well to the Cordura and other man-made polyesters and canvas for assembly like you show.
i realize Im kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Leland Jermaine flixportal :D
@Case Kaiser thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!
@Leland Jermaine Glad I could help :)
SO helpful, thank you!!!
@buddyfure Yes, your comment is valid and correct. Thanks for your comment!
Matt - you were going pretty fast with that machine. I'm quite surprised you didn't get pulled over by a traffic cop for speeding. I think you would have gotten a speeding ticket.
Thanks so much for the Videos. Really enjoy them and Your products.
@electrikkoolaid Good idea. I will work on one soon. Eric
love this
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for all the instruction, ; what needle side did you use, and what kind the industrial sewing machine you use ?
Hi Matt , great information
I buy and sell several boats a year that need new cushions and canvas work,
It gets very expensive to have the work done by a canvas company.
My question is what is a good overall sewing machine to do the work I need without purchasing a different machine down the road..
Thanks again, Frank
Greetings Frank, If you are mainly going to be sewing cushions and canvas work and no sails on sail boats, I would get a good straight stitch machine. If you are sewing sails then a zigzag and straight stitch machine would do. The best machine for canvas and upholstery work is the Sailrite Fabricator for its price and performance. Here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Fabricator-Sewing-Machine-in-Power-Stand-with-Workhorse-Servo-Motor
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
Eric
Wonderful.
Are this videos also useful for non-sailing applications, such as jacket zipper? I'm very certain they are, but I ask just in case.
Yes, they are for all kinds of zipper applications not just sailing.
What kind of tables are those in the background for your work surface?
thank you.
Hey Matt, what brand watch are you wearing?
If you wanted to have first hand look on all of your products what locations would be available ? I live in Florida
We only have one location in Columbia City, Indiana. We do not have a showroom, but you can come and see a specific item or items via appointment. Contact us if you would like to set it up.
Thanks will do !
ARe you sewing through the basting tape when you're putting the zipper in?
+Phoebe Fogler Yes, we are leaving the basting tape in place and sewing through it.
Were do I get this tools,
