I'm bringing this thread back to life because I am having problems with this zipper technique. I can reattach the zipper pull, but when I'm using just one side of the zipper it does not close smoothly. The coils look 'bumpy'. If I reattach the pull to the original two sides of the zipper everything works well.
I bought my zipper at a craft resale shop. It is new, but older. It originally sold for 70 cents. It's a nylon coil. A previous poster thought that might be a problem.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
