Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
If the instructions on the little plastic invisible zipper feet leave you confused or frustrated, then take a look at this tutorial offered by Coats & Clark’s Sewing Secrets blog. (This blog is no longer activie and re-directs) We were able to find this tips and tricks section of the new page.
They give step-by-step instructions and plenty of photographs to show you how to get the invisible zipper foot on to your machine. Here is another helpful tutorial we found for Zipper foots.
The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Where is the darn tutorial for putting the invisible zipper foot on your machine?
I hear you! Definitely a tutorial I’ll keep my eye out for. The last time I tried to put an invisible zipper on my machine, I spent over an hour fiddling with all the pieces. I finally just gave up and stitched the zipper down with a regular presser foot.
I bought a zipper foot last year and threw out the instructuins when i had sewn the zip. Now I want to sew another zip this year but I have forgotten how to attach the zipper foot. I cannot find (except for the photo) where you have a video of this.

The link is imbedded in the text.
Second from the link which is weird I figured out.. The yellow in my case goes on the white Slipping in where the x part is into the white.. Then this yellow bit slides over the metal column then you screw the screw back into place
except that it doesn’t lead to the tutorial. I get sent to the yarnspirations website, and no tutorial to be found. I can buy a foot there, but don’t need one, I already have the foot, just need to know how to put it on my new machine.
Looks like they have changed their website completely. We have made some updates to the post to reflect that.
