Conquered the invisble zipper

Ahhh!! Finally conquered the zipper..
Do you dread the invisible zipper or any zipper? I DID. Not anymore
Best way to insert invisible zipper


I had so many questions -

Invisible Zipper Issues

Which way to place the zipper?
Do I need to iron my zipper?
If so, what setting?
Which foot to use? Worst my machine doesnt even support the invisible zipper foot.
Use tape or pins?
Baste?
Can't get close enough. What to do?
The seams at waist don't match up, what to do?
The neck now is one up one down, what to do?
Why is the invisble zipper visible from the correct side?
Ok, I know the zipper, what about facing?


I was once at this stage - Zipper foot not working - The needle went straight down the zipper teeth.



And then at this -
Invisible zipper mistakes


where I got the right foot but my tenchique was wrong. The zipper was showing from right side, it was all wonky, seams never matched.

And now (happy face)

Please dont notice the zipper colour, was in a hurry to finish off the skirt.. the fit was so good I couldnt resist to finish it off.
It's a pencil skirt by the way if you are wondering.

Imprevement - I could do better with matching of the circles at both patterns. But I could live with it for now.
If you'd like to have my lessons learnt and tutorial let me know :)

    Thanks for sharing. There’s nothing quite like a well fitted corset tops to make you feel confident and stylish. I’ve been on the lookout for affordable yet fashionable options, and that’s when I came across Tamooya. Their Corset tops for women are simply fabulous! The variety in their designs—from edgy leather styles to delicate lace—is unmatched. I even recommended Tamooya to a few friends, and they loved their purchases. Whether you’re shopping for personal use or wholesale, Tamooya delivers on quality and style every time. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into trendy women’s clothing!
