We Don't Need No Stinking Zippers!

Ok -- I will admit the zipper knocked me down last week.  After 2 days of contemplating and trying to sew this stupid 12 inch thing on this very delicate silk fabric dress I was creating I had to say uncle!  I really don't like zippers and that's being calm about it.  

I'd like to shout out a thank you to the Viking representative at my local JoAnn's Fabrics.  I visited her as soon as the store opened on Sunday and probably from my face she could tell I was outside of being flustered.  A few pats on the back, and a lot of you can do its and not to forget the fifty some odd dollars I gave her freely for the zipper foot and 20 bobbins.  YEP, she sold me 20 bobbins and an invisible zipper foot (feet like these attach to the sewing machine to hold the fabric steady and other things).  In my case I needed the other things. That zipper foot is the best.  What had taken me down for the count before took me under 10 minutes to install the zipper - DONE.  

It was done and it was perfect.
