Reminder : another Instagram Live from Janome Canada today on zippers. Today at 10am Pacific/ 11am Mountain/ 1pm Eastern, Liz will show how to make a zipper pouch using the zipper tab method.
Little yellow arrows show the tabs that are added to the ends of the zipper which neatens the baggie closure considerably
Also about zippers:
Remember the popular online video tutorials called Craftsy? It changed its name to Bluprint + the way in which it offered tutorials quite some time back. It is a subscription based website but the good news is that you can currently watch any and all online classes/tutorials until 16th April 2020.
If you have been following along with our Instagram Lives this week, you will know we have been talking about 4 different ways to banish the zippers. We thought, in addition to the input we have been offering all week on Instagram (as well as here on Janome Life of course!), that you might like to also watch this BluPrint Tutorial called Mastering Zippers by Callie Works-Leary. This tutorial contains 3 short videos covering how to sew a centered, a lapped and an invisible zipper using a Janome sewing machine!
Check it out. Remember, it is only free to watch until 16th April! So if you try to watch after this date, you may have to sign up with Bluprint and pay a subscription fee to have access to the tutorial. So don’t “dilly dally”! It’s not long – 16 minutes total.
Of course, you can also watch our Instagram Live video’s on the subject – visit our Janome Life You Tube channel – we should have the video’s processed and posted by early next week – just in case you missed the Instagram Live’s this week.
Are you afraid of inserting a zipper into a garment or bag?
Are you feeling a little less zipper fear now? And there are still another 2 Janome Canada Instagram lives on Zippers: today (zipper tab method) and tomorrow (fully lined zipper pouch with crisp corners).
Let us know in the comment box below if this week’s focus on zippers was useful to banish zipper phobia?
Janome Life 
Yes, it is a wonderful zipper lesson. Thank you 😊

Why just on Instagram? I follow Janome all the time and have learned a lot but I do not want to be on Instagram. Just one more thing to keep track of. What about your other loyal customers who are also missing out?

Hi Karen-Lee,
It is indeed very hard to please everyone all the time. I hear you but that was our decision to go with Instagram. But we ARE recording each Instagram Live and posting the video to our Janome Life You Tube channel. You will NOT be missing out! The recording will be processed and uploaded as soon as we can after the Live. May take a few days with us almost upon the Easter weekend. But it should be there by early next week.
Liz

Hi kris,
Not sure why either as I clicked the link I provided in this post and it goes to the Janome Life channel on You Tube. If it still does not work for you, then go to You Tube and do a search for Jnaome Life. It should come up.
