TheShiek2008 Report post Posted January 31, 2015 I was trying to figure out how to sew a zipper onto a handgun case. When comparing it to another I already have I noticed that the case is just one long zipper wrapped around the whole case. It is not a zipper sewn to each side. If that makes any sense. Anyone have any good tutorials on sewing zippers onto things? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted January 31, 2015 When I make them, . . . 1st thing, . . . ALWAYS contact cement the zipper to the leather. You will be more than unhappy if you don't, . . . or at least I was. 2nd, . . . because I have a Tippmann Boss that I use for such things, . . . I have to do it in a certain way. Looking at the gunbag, . . . zipper open in a big "V", . . . zipper tongue at the bottom of the "V", . . . I start sewing up in the right hand corner of the "V", . . . come down that leg, . . . sew over to the other side, . . . and go back up the left side. I do that so my spacing from the edge of the leather to the stitches remains constant, . . . and for me it reduces the option for the leg to "pucker". AND, . . . I don't use the zippers you described. I go buy an actual brass zipper the appropriate length for the bag. Good luck, may God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
