BirgitdeBoer BirgitdeBoer writes: Thank you for a clear concise explanation. I didn't realize I knew so little about the anatomy of a zipper. Thank you! I'm looking forward on a tutorial about actually sewing them in. After even having read about doing it, it would be so much easier to understand after having seen somebody do it.

Now I'm waiting for the next part which will be how to inset a zipper. I think that no matter how long you've been sewing, zippers are intimidating!
