Tutorial: How To Insert An Exposed Zipper Into A Pillow - Suzy Quilts

In a past tutorial we showed you how to sew a covered zipper, but today we bring you something a little different and very BOLD. We are peeling back the fabric layers. Today we present to you the best tutorial on how to insert an EXPOSED zipper in a pillow!

So get those fancy gold, antique brass or rainbow zippers out because they are the stars today! No more hiding! But first, a laugh...

Open letter to an Exposed Zipper,

I see you. It’s not hard to see you because you are an exposed zipper and your shiny goodness is put on full display. But, I want you to know that I really see you, and I’ve heard what people are saying. They think you are difficult. They are intimidated by you, or worried they won’t be able to do you justice.

It’s not you, it’s zippers in general. Invisible zippers, centered-zippers, lapped-zippers, and, especially fly-front zippers, have all justly gathered a bit of fear and intimidation and left you exposed to the same vulnerabilities. Let’s close those fears that have left you undone and show everyone how easy you are.
