The Milward Nylon Open-Ended Zip is an essential component for sewing enthusiasts and fashion designers looking to add reliable, durable fastenings to knitwear, jackets, cardigans, and activewear. It is specifically designed for garments that require a fully separating, open-bottom closure, providing a sleek, professional finish for both new creations and repair projects; however, users must ensure that the 65cm length and no. 6 coil size are appropriate for their specific garment dimensions before installation.

Yes, but it requires careful removal of the top stops and re-securing them after cutting the excess tape.
The no. 6 coil is best suited for medium-weight fabrics; it may not be robust enough for heavy, rigid denim.
The Milward nylon zip features a standard slider design that maintains position through friction.
The zip length is 65cm, measured from the bottom stop to the top stops.
Yes, it is machine washable. Ensure the zip is fully closed before putting the garment in the wash to prevent damage.
Check for loose threads caught in the teeth and apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to lubricate the coil.
Use pliers to gently tighten the slider opening, which restores the grip on the zipper teeth.
Ensure you are using an appropriate interfacing on the garment fabric to prevent stretching during the sewing process.
To install, pin the zip tape securely to the garment opening, ensuring the zipper teeth are centered over the seam line. Use a standard zipper foot on your sewing machine to stitch as close to the teeth as possible without hitting them. For ongoing care, keep the teeth clean of lint and loose threads to ensure the slider moves freely. Avoid forcing the slider if it encounters resistance; instead, check for fabric caught in the coil. If the slider becomes loose over time, gentle pressure can often restore the grip.
