Introduzione
Una cerniera rotta ha rovinato il vostro capo d’abbigliamento preferito? Non buttatelo via subito! Il problema più comune con le cerniere zip riguarda la rottura o la mancanza dello “spillo”, la parte della zip che va inserita nel cursore. Potrebbero comunque esserci dei negozi che vendono kit per la riparazione delle zip, ma tendono a non durare comunque a lungo, a causa della tensione a cui lo spillo viene sottoposto quotidianamente. Il miglior modo per sostituire lo spillo è ricucirne uno nuovo, insieme al tessuto e al rinforzo di plastica intorno a esso. Non servono kit - solo forbici, ago e filo.

I appreciate this video. I've gone to several alteration shops and they want to replace the entire zipper. Pretty silly in my opinion. But, they're the professional seamstresses. I will learn to sew today..
Are there pins available to purchase for a plastic zipper (probably size 8 )somewhere with instructions. Can a pin be removed & recrimped? I have an expensive jacket with 2 sliders. Problem is a tooth on plastic coil zip is out of place a/b 1 inch above the pin. Can I remove the existing pins & move them up?

Se lo spillo non si allinea correttamente, rimuovi il filo e ricuci.

Hi, I have a north face jacket and the zipper is fine but the plastic square backing is what’s missing so I can’t zip it up. Do you know what that’s really called so I can find a replacement? Or do you know what I can replace it with? Thanks, Amy
Instead of cutting a notch out, I removed the stitching at the edge of the coat to expose the entire zipper body end, and completely cut the end off. Then I stitched a complete new end on. The advantage was that it provided the maximum mechanical strength to keep the insertion pin aligned.
Careful when at the cut lines, do not pull on any threads, some are loose, but I have a way to fix that later. Then stitch using long stiches to avoid the areas too close to the cut lines where the threads are loose.
Finally, I zip the 2 halves together in order to align all the parts together into their final relative positions, and use a Bondic glue pen on all stitches and areas around the cuts where the loose threads are. When I cure with the UV light, the result is much stronger than just the threads. I was careful to not apply any of the epoxy close to the zipper, so that I don’t block the passage of the zipper slider.
Then I lightly sand to remove any sharp edges, and sew the zipper tape back to the jacket.
I will need to see a YouTube video on that lol
That’s a great solution. I considered that, but it seemed like way more work, so I opted for a simpler fix. You could also replace the entire zipper if you wanted!
Hello:
I have a question. I own an LL BEAN winter jacket. The zipper doesn't work. It seems I need a Bottom Stop, an Insertion Pin, and a Retainer Stop. On the back of the slider, it says:
YKK
5VSt
VISLON
Can you help me? I have a photo, if needed.
Thank you,
David
Hi, David!
I’m certainly no expert, but can you include the photo? Maybe I’ll be able to help.
All you have to do is go to amazon, or wherever and put in the type of zipper that you mentioned above. If replacing the whole thing, you need to know how many inches it is. If you’re just replacing the bottom pieces mentioned, it doesn’t matter how long it is.
I just need to replace the pin on a child’s zip hoodie. I don’t have any used jacket to cut the pin out. I suppose I can buy a replacement zipper and just cut the pin+material from the replacement zipper and sew it on. However, is there a size difference in zipper pins/boxes for children’s clothing? I see a number on the original zipper box…N3P. Is this the zipper size or number that I need to match?
Hello
Thank you very much for your great tip. Now I go to the attic and search through my bags of clothes that are still stored there, which I still haven't sorted out since I moved here.
