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. 🤐
WHICH ZIPS WE CAN SNIP INTO AND THE REASONS WHY.🧵
I’ll illustrate:
🌟Why we might want to add snips to a zip.
🌟How a zip is constructed
🌟Which type of zips we can snip and which we can’t
🌟What enables us to add snips and what length they should be
And why not dive into my catalogue of bag and accessory patterns HERE

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.
