I’ve seen too many talented bag-makers fall victim to the same frustrating issue recently. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

There have been so many posts about zips failing or fraying, particularly the new striped zips, I wanted to make a quick video to explain a bit more about why this is happening. ๐Ÿค

WHICH ZIPS WE CAN SNIP INTO AND THE REASONS WHY.๐Ÿงต

Iโ€™ll illustrate:

๐ŸŒŸWhy we might want to add snips to a zip.

๐ŸŒŸHow a zip is constructed

๐ŸŒŸWhich type of zips we can snip and which we canโ€™t

๐ŸŒŸWhat enables us to add snips and what length they should be

And why not dive into my catalogue of bag and accessory patterns HERE

    Thanks for the explanation of the difference between these type of zipper tapes. Very helpful for future selection of zippers for bags with tighter curves.
