FAQs

Can I use this zipper on heavy denim?

No, this is a no. 3 coil zip designed for light-to-medium weight fabrics. It may not hold up under the tension of heavy denim.

Is the zip length permanent?

No, you can use the adjustable stopper to shorten the 25cm zip to any length required for your specific garment.

Do I need a special foot to sew this?

Yes, an invisible or concealed zipper foot is strongly recommended to get the teeth close enough to the seam for a truly hidden look.

What is the material of the zipper coil?

The zipper coil is made from durable, lightweight nylon.

Is this a separating zipper?

No, this is a closed-end zipper, meaning it does not come apart at the bottom; it is ideal for skirts and trousers.

Troubleshooting

The zipper is difficult to zip up after installation

Ensure your stitching line is not too close to the zipper coil; if the thread is catching the teeth, adjust your needle position slightly.

The zipper looks wavy after sewing

Avoid stretching the fabric while sewing; use a stabilizer or interfacing if your fabric is particularly thin or prone to shifting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a professional, invisible appearance on garments
  • Lightweight design ensures it does not add bulk to clothing
  • Adjustable stopper allows for custom sizing
  • Easy to sew into various fabric weights
  • High-quality nylon construction for smooth operation

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty fabrics like denim or canvas
  • Requires a specific concealed zipper foot for best results
  • Fixed 25cm starting length may require adjustment for longer openings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, it is highly recommended to use a dedicated invisible zipper foot for your sewing machine, which helps press the coil open as you stitch. Ensure you press your fabric seam allowance with an iron before starting. To adjust the length, simply move the stopper to your desired position and secure it by sewing a tight bar tack across the coil with your machine before trimming the excess. For long-term care, always close the zipper before laundering garments to prevent the coil from catching or twisting in the wash.
