Very nice! I have not been able to install a zipper like this successfully. It ends up twisted--doesn't match up right. Do you have a hard time with this? How do you get it to match so nicely?

I sue the #5 marine zippers. I get them by the yard and cut to the size I need. I haven't had any problems with melting. Your iron must be super hot!

I use zippers that I thread the slide in them. but with a regular zipper, sometimes you need to pin the one end and then do the other end. They slide sometimes and that is the only way that I find to make sure they are right, but if you have them closed when you stitch them, I don't understand why you have a problem.

I was installing it in a book cover; therefore, was unable to lay it flat.
