    In this workshop Simply Sewing’s Senior Technical Editor Roisin walks you through the process of inserting both regular and invisible zips.

    The most frequent questions we receive from our readers are about zip insertion. How do you know which type of zip to use? How do you insert a zip neatly? Which presser foot do I need? These are great questions, and ones that we asked ourselves too when we were making our first garments! In this workshop, we guide you through choosing a zip for your pattern, inserting a zip and some handy accessories that you can add to your toolbox!
