Zippers intimidating you? Just want to brush up or practice before finishing that bag or garment? This crash course in machine sewing zippers is a great place to start. We will focus on simple set-in zippers, invisible zippers, and if time allows, tackle overlapped, or placket, zippers (think pants!). Materials provided! Bring your own sewing machine, with a zipper foot that fits your machine. Not sure what that is? Google your machine and “zipper foot” to see that correct part.
