INVISIBLE Zipper next to broken zipper

My mom used the zipper foot on her machine to repair my dad’s down jacket. Best I can describe is a zipper hot dog

Toothed zippers aren't generally sturdy, coil zippers are flexible and last longer than any other kind, and can usually be repaired by stitching it back down if it tears, or bending the little loops back into place. They also don't jam that often. The only problem they really have is that the slides on them aren't usually as hefty and durable as other zippers.
