I have always been a bit afraid of using them. On a recent fabric and haberdashery shopping trip I picked a couple of invisible zippers up by mistake. I got carried away but cheap zippers in one shop and didn't really check what I was buying. Since I now had lots of them I had to use them and get over my "fear". I love them now Bea W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09388127017132383701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-32550829237868258822010-07-20T15:22:21.107-04:002010-07-20T15:22:21.107-04:00Thanks for this- I've always avoided putting i...Thanks for this- I've always avoided putting in an invisible zipper but this makes it seem almost easier than putting in a regular one.
