Problem: Stubborn zipper
Solution:
If it sticks: Rub the trouble spot with a dry, waxy lubricant,
like a candle, lip balm, or soap. "But don't get any on the
fabric — it can stain," says Kathy Reuter, a family-economics
educator at the University of Illinois extension program, in
Countryside, Illinois.
If it slides too far down and has to be fished out of a seam: Sew
across the zipper — teeth and all — at the point you'd like it to
stop.
