@nickrauchen@c.im Yeah, exactly that! Apologies if you know all of this, I only figured that out a few months ago when I made some patio cushions, and was amazed that you could make zippers of any length and you could basically assemble the zipper and pull, without having to buy exactly the right zipper length/etc.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Not at all. All new to me in the last year. I mostly experiment with "gear" and have been thinking of getting a more heavy duty sewing machine. Mine is too "dainty" for what I like to do. One very odd thing (to me at least) is lightweight webbing (like that on ID badges). All the webbing I order is heavy and not supple. I've actually collected "extra" badge holders to cannibalize the webbing on small projects... like putting a button loop on a hammock.
