This video shows how to sew an invisible zipper also known as a concealed zipper. We demonstrate two methods: with the facing on top and the facing underneath. You will need a zipper foot for your sewing machine. You can buy a specialist invisible zipper foot, which makes the process easier, but using a standard zipper foot will still work fine.
