For the zipper stitch you'll need three pieces of gimp.
Two shorter pieces that are equal length and one longer piece that is three times
the length of one of the shorter pieces.
Start by taking all three and tie them in a knot at one end.
Next, separate your strands and bring your longer strand over to the right side.
Then take your longer strand and bring it over the right shorter strand and under
the left shorter strand. Then come back and bring the longer strand over the left
shorter strand and under the right shorter strand.
Just keep going back and forth,
going over, under, and over, under.
Just keep repeating this until you're ready for the finishing stitch.
When you're ready to finish, take the strands at the end and tie them in
a knot. There you have the zipper stitch.
