Awesome, thank you so much for experimenting! I got these zips in about 2003 and I can’t even remember where I got them from, so I am not precious about them. I have three of them, and on one, it looks as if it has been made with the metal ends of the zip teeth past the end seal of the zip, so I reckon I might be able to pull the zip slider off without even cutting it, I will experiment in the morning, cos it is MP bedtime here! Thank you!

You are going to have to cut both ends…the ends won’t go over the end stoppers…even a thin pin will block them. I added more instructions for your particular zipper.
I buy my zippers in rolls with the slides separate. I can make whatever kind of zipper I need and often mix and match the colors as well!

Ace, thank you so much. I am not averse to chopping them. I also found a gian length of black continuous zip. Two bits are both about 10 feet long. It looks to be a coil zip, and it is apparently 7.11mm wide (I got out the vernier calipers!) so I think it is a number 8 zip, need to find some sliders for it, then I am set for life!

I know you will do it! You have inspired me to learn new ways to add zippers…and I have discovered a couple new ones as well .I love making pouches so keep them coming!

Thank you very much, I’ve got it! I cut one end, took one zip pull off, and put it on the other end so that they were facing the right way. The first attempt was misaligned, so I slid the zip pull I didn’t move near the open end and drew a couple of lines across the teeth on the back.
That let me know my second attempt lined up.
Thank you very much
