In this class, students will learn how to use a sewing machine to install a zipper. We will focus on (and practice!) basic zipper installations using acrylic coil zippers. We will also discuss more complex applications such as invisible zips, metal zippers, and zip flies.

Prerequisite: Sewers of all levels are welcome, as long as they have at least a basic practical understanding of machine sewing, including terms such as backstitching, seam allowance, and stitch length.

About the instructor, Amelia: Amelia taught adult general and apparel sewing classes for four years. During that time, she taught zipper classes for beginning-level sewers as well as a backpacks class and some garment sewing classes which involved more advanced zipper installations (beefier zippers, invisible zippers, etc).
