FAQs

Can this zip be shortened?

Yes, it features an adjustable stopper that allows you to shorten the zip to your desired length.

Do I need a special foot to sew this?

It is highly recommended to use an invisible zipper foot for a clean, professional finish.

Is this suitable for heavy fabrics?

It is best suited for light-to-medium weight dress fabrics; it may not be appropriate for heavy-duty upholstery or denim.

What does 'no. 3 coil' mean?

This refers to the width of the zipper teeth, where '3' indicates a slim, discreet profile ideal for delicate garment seams.

Is the zip colorfast?

Milward zips are manufactured to high standards, but it is always best to wash garments inside out in cold water to maintain the color of both fabric and zipper.

Troubleshooting

The zipper slider feels stuck or stiff.

Ensure no loose threads are trapped in the coils and check that the seam allowance is not too close to the teeth.

The zip is visible through the seam.

Ensure you are using an invisible zipper foot and that your needle is positioned as close to the coil as possible without piercing the coil itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides a clean, seamless finish on clothing
Easily adjustable to shorter lengths via the stopper
High-quality nylon construction ensures long-term durability
Suitable for a wide variety of garment types including skirts and dresses

Cons

Requires an invisible zipper foot for optimal installation
The 60cm length may be too long for some small accessories without adjustment
Invisible zips generally require more precise sewing techniques than standard zips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, always use a specialized invisible zipper foot on your sewing machine. Before sewing, ensure you have measured your seam allowance accurately, as even slight variations can affect the 'invisibility' of the zip. If you need to shorten the zip, carefully move the adjustable stopper to your desired length and trim the excess tape, ensuring you secure the end to prevent the slider from coming off. To maintain the life of the zip, keep the area free of loose threads and press the seam open using a low-heat iron, taking care to avoid direct contact with the nylon coils.
