I’ve seen too many talented bag-makers fall victim to the same frustrating issue recently. ๐ฎโ๐จ
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. ๐ค

WHICH ZIPS WE CAN SNIP INTO AND THE REASONS WHY.๐งต
Iโll illustrate:
๐Why we might want to add snips to a zip.
๐How a zip is constructed
๐Which type of zips we can snip and which we canโt
๐What enables us to add snips and what length they should be

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.
