I have a garment with a heavy duty separating zipper. Apparently the
zipper stop came off, and when I zipped up the zipper, the slide body
came off the end. I've been tryin to thread the body back on the
teeth, but it just won't go. any tips? Is this possible?

Yes, with lots of patience. After your success, whip stitch both top teeth
to make another stop - or you will be able to thread again and again and
again....

Dear Cheryl,

I think you need to be born with a zipper-fixing gene. I had students
who could do it, but I've never been able to. Hope you have the
gene...

Cheryl,

Since it's a separating zipper can't you just slide the body back on one
side? And then go ahead and zip it up as you would usually do? Or is
that what you're trying to do?
