clothing zip repair
How to repair a broken zip on a piece of clothing, other than replacing it?
The problem is that the two sides of the shirt won’t tie together when you pull the zip upwards.
Before you decide to replace a zipper, examine it carefully to see if you can repair it. If a tooth is missing in the upper two-thirds of the zipper’s tracks, the zipper should be replaced. If a tooth is missing near the bottom of one of the tracks, zip up the zipper so that the slider is above the damage. Thread a needle and make several stitches around both rows of teeth, just above the missing tooth, to make a new stop for the slider. Stitch over the new stop several times to make sure it’s firm.
