This Pants Zipper Needed a Full Replacement

This Pants Zipper Needed a Full Replacement

A broken zipper doesn't have to mean the end of a favorite pair of pants. In this video, Debbie shows how to replace a fly zipper in a pair of pants, removing the old zipper and installing a new one so the garment can keep going strong.

You may remember these pants from a previous video where we tried a quick hand-stitch repair. This time, the zipper has finally given out, so we're replacing it completely.
You can watch that video here: https://youtu.be/qgsEn8MG2gc

Machine used:
Brother Innov-is BQ1350 (https://lindazs.com/product-page/brother-1350)
