How to Replace a Broken Jeans Zipper
By Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide
Bar tack the new zipper at the mark. A bar tack can be made by using the zig zag function on your sewing machine. Reduce the stitch length and widen the width of your zig zag to clear the zipper teeth. Stitch repeatedly to create a very strong stopping point for the zipper pull. Cut the zipper just below the bar tack.
