I agree completely Regine. It also helps if you have a zipper foot and an adjustable needle position on your machine. I move the needle to the outermost position of the foot, and sew the seam up. The needle then comes right up to the line of stitching for the zipper. -Ann

Agree too Regine. I also use the same needle position and zipper foot technique that Ann describes above.

Did you know that the special invisible zipper foot also doubles as an ordinary zipper foot? The plastic base slides over to either to side and allows one to sew right next to a bulky seam. You don't need to adjust the needle position at all.

I keep insisting I will put in an invisible zipper sometime. These hints hopefully will make it go easier. Thanks.

A useful tip I will try. Thank you.

Thanks for this tip. I have unpicked an invisible zip three times this afternoon because of that horrid little fold that keeps appearing. I'm off to unpick the seam now and start again!

I love these concealed zippers, and find them easier than ordinary zippers to put in! I also do what Gorgeous Things describes above! Mary Anne
