I'm struggling with my zip stopper and puller. I'm inserting an invisible zip into the side seam of a dress and the stopper kept showing sitting outside the garment once simulated. I then tried to make a flap to cover the stopper, but then the puller showed on the outside of the flap.
Please can you show how to overcome this?
