Ok folks, I need help with a zipper.
I'm currently converting a top cover (based off a BBO) into a a sock. My plan is to sew one long side and then to put a zipper along the other side. Questions:
I got the zipper coil and double sided pull tabs from diygearsupply, now, do I keep the zipper coil closed and sew it as is, or do I separate the coil into the two pieces and then sew each of those? If separating, how is a good way to do so? I'm afraid of trying to force anything because I always end up breaking stuff that way.
I'm planning on a zipper pull from each end, anything I should know or any problems with this?
Also, my plan is to allow the zipper to open all the way (like on a jacket) so that if I decide to throw it on my hammock, I don't have to thread it through the straps. Any problems with this idea?
opinions and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
