How To Fix A Stuck Zipper?
Sometimes, zippers may stop working because the surrounding fabric gets caught in the teeth. Inspect the garment or accessory closely for snags, folds, tangles, and other signs of a hangup.
Once you’ve located the snag responsible for blocking the zipper, take hold of the fabric around the obstruction and tug it in a different direction. If the snag is small, using a pair of tweezers may help you get a better grip. Pull the fabric in the direction opposite the way the zipper runs and hold it.
2.Try to work the zipper up and down. Keep your hold on the snagged fabric, and begin gently pulling the zipper tab. Try sliding it in both directions to see if the fabric releases. In most cases, constant tension, small movements, and a little patience will be enough to clear the zipper teeth.
