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.
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 love the high energy you used in this video. You were able to create a calm, that told everyone , they will be okay, even the zipper too...will be okay👊🏻🤛🏻🙂👌🏻
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....
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.
Thanks for this tutorial. I recently purchased a backpack and two of the zippers came off the chain on the first use. With the help of this video, I was able to fix the zippers and continue to use my pack. Thank you!
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.
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!
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! I was able to repair 2 zippers following your guidance, one separated and one intact, but stuck. I have new "tools" in my tool box. Sending gratititude. Thank you, thank you!
I appreciate your videos! They're so helpful. Wish I hadn't thrown away things in the past that had a broken zipper. I will, however, fix my brand new travel suitcase, which I bought at a heavy discount because one of the zippers was broke.
I know this video is 10 years old, but thank you so much!! I just spent 2 hours getting increasingly livid trying to reattach the pull on my favourite skirt, before finding this video. Fixed it in under a minute! Thank you so much!
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! 😊💕
I had a broken zipper in my wallet and put it aside years ago because of it. I already tried to fix it with other tutorials right then, but it didn't work. Tonight I looked up a tutorial again and yours popped up. It worked like a charm.
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...
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.
I also had an extreme moment of panic while making pillows for my mom as a present. The slider went clean off but your video helped guide me to success! Thank You!
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!!❤❤❤
Worked for me... I had a zipper that was not joined and got it back together. Plus, I added stops so the slider never reaches the end of either end. Thanks!
Thank you! The greenhouse shelf that I have, has a plastic cover with a long zipper. The zipper pull came off this morning and after watching your video, against all odds, I was able to put the zipper pull back on!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you!! I have been trying to reattach a zipper slider, and I finally decided to just look it up. I had the slider upside down. Flipped it around and it worked! Now I don’t have to buy new running shorts! Thanks again for the instruction!
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.
No, just let me sit here thinking I would never get this stupid pull back on! You are a genius! One hour later I found your video and 20 seconds later I can continue sewing this cushion! Thanks so much!!
This video saved me so much grief! I'd accidentally pulled the slider right off the tape while I was sewing and this was such an easy way to fix it! Thank you for a great video.
Thank you Hyrum! I have been watching videos and for 3 years my couch cushion slip covers have been unzipped in the back because the zipper sliders came off! I was able to fix them today! Finally! Thanks to you!
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.
All I had to do was take a needle, nose, and pliers and not cut the teeth off. Still, you can see that some of the teeth are missing, which is what the problem was. Still, I just took the needle nose pliers and clamped it on the other side of where the zipper isn’ed I’m talking about like 12 different channels. You are the one within two minutes that just help me. Thank you. I mean the slider and suddenly it zipped up I can’t believe it out of all these women I’m talking about like 12 different channels. You are the one within two minutes that just help me. Thank you.
THANK YOU!! I purchased a thrift store designer purse that was in great shape except for a split zipper. Struggled a bit on my own and found the solution here. Thanks again
i think she means for something like a pair of jeans. if the zipper now works backwards how do you zip the pants? take the whole zipper out of the jeans?
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.
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!
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!
I've actually just searched how to fix zippers as I've broken one on my patio sofa cover 🙄 after 30 minutes of battling with it, I found your video, followed the steps and it's fixed 😁👌 thank you!
this truly is the age of free knowledge, I mean, of course I paid dollars for the data that just streamed education into my eye sockets. but at least I didn't have to battle a granny to the death for her coveted seamstress secrets Cause that's what you had to do back in the black&white days man, kids these days don't know how luck they are. you just have to look a pre-web battler in the eyes to know he's "seen some shit'. respect to our self educated fore fathers who had to actually moove off the couch to learn how to use a tooth pick, change a tyre or treat a women nice, like on those fun sites. we the age of easy education solute you. but seriously, how the absolute f**k did we live 10 years ago. F**kin love U Tube.:)
I struggled for over an hour trying to reattach per someone else's instructions. I finally was able to cut some of the teeth to create the "gap" that you mentioned, and it worked immediately. Thanks, you're awesome!!!
OMG!!!!! I was making a purse and I pulled the slider off the zipper!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TUTORIAL!!!! You saved the purse (a gift) and my sanity!!!!!
Thanks so much, Mr. H...!! I just fixed a little rolling suitcase with a broken zipper on the outside flap that looked tacky broken and unusable...been that way for 10 years...now the bag is like new...sorta...so happy!
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.
Do you have a video for coat sippers where the top edge of the zipper has a small stopper piece that is too large for either side of the zipper slider openings?
I gave up and threw the zipper in the trash. When I saw this video, I dug it out to try your method. Exposing the cord was the trick. I used my Beadalon jewelry nipper snips to remove the teeth. The fine point made it easier to snip the individual teeth. The exposed cord was a little frayed, so I put clear nail polish on it. While it was still slightly tacky, I squeezed it to help smoosh and smooth it out. That made sort of a poor man's zipper pin like on the bottom of a jacket zipper. It made pushing the zipper pull on so much easier. I now have a functioning zipper, again. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for your fantastic video. I had an outdoor chaise lounge cushion that would've been very expensive to replace. The zipper broke on the cusion cover and I had lost the zipper slider. I'm not an avid seamstress and therefore was unable to sew on a new one on. I found a new zipper with a zipper slider that was the exact same size and removed it from the new zipper and placed it on the zipper of the cushion cover. It worked like a charm. It took some patience and persistence, but eventually it worked perfectly. Again, thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you, I have spent all morning making a couch cover with an open ended zip. I had been really careful keeping the slider on the zip until in a split second losing my concentration it came off. Thank you so much for this 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.
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.

Awe lol. I felt your agony and frustration. I just broke my work bag and I love it so much. Hope this works for me. Cheers

well, this is not so helpful for clothes, as it closes upwards and opens downwards
I see you everywhere
Why would you say that? I tried it and it worked fine. I think you don't yet understand how the zipper works.
i think she means for something like a pair of jeans. if the zipper now works backwards how do you zip the pants? take the whole zipper out of the jeans?

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.

It took some patience and persistence, but eventually it worked perfectly. Again, thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you, I have spent all morning making a couch cover with an open ended zip. I had been really careful keeping the slider on the zip until in a split second losing my concentration it came off. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for saving me the work of taking out and replacing a zipper on a pop up tent storage bag. Would have been hard to even find a replacement.
Thank you!!!!!! Was struggling for 20 minutes with no success…had the wrong end to begin with. Thank you
Thank you for this. Your video did two things. 1. Made me believe that you can repair a zipped and give enough direction to resolve my own problem.
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.
Thank You! You saved me even after 11 years. This works so easily
Thanks!! The slider had come completely off the zipper chain on a pocket in my carryon-this worked!!! Fixed in less than a minute.
