"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. In this clip, we're going to be pinning in our lap zipper. So you just want to move your fabric right up against the teeth of the fabric on the left side (teeth of the zipper rather) and then just pin it in place. You just want to make sure that you pin it in place; sometimes it's a little tricky. Once you have it pinned in, you want to go ahead and just run a seam going right along here. So you can actually open up the zipper head just to get it started and just keep going. Once that is done, we are ready to do the other side."
