FAQs

Can I use a standard zipper foot to install this?

While technically possible, it is extremely difficult to achieve a truly invisible result without a dedicated invisible zipper foot.

What is the total length of the zip?

This zip is 25cm (9.8 inches) in length.

Is this zip suitable for heavy denim?

No, this is a no. 3 lightweight coil intended for dresses, skirts, and trousers. It is not designed for heavy fabrics.

How do I secure the bottom of the zip?

The zip has a closed end, but if you shorten it, you must create a new secure stop using a dense zigzag stitch across the coil.

What color is 'Honey'?

Honey is a versatile warm-neutral shade, suitable for a variety of earthy and bright fabric tones.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is visible after sewing.

Ensure you are using an invisible zipper foot and that the teeth are pressed flat before stitching.

Zipper slider sticks or is hard to move.

Check that no stray fabric threads are caught in the coil. Gently back the slider out and remove any debris.

Zipper length is too long.

Use the adjustable stopper or create a new stop by sewing a tight bar tack across the nylon coil at the required length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, it is highly recommended to use an invisible zipper foot, which allows the needle to stitch close enough to the teeth to conceal them properly. Always ensure the fabric is stabilized with lightweight interfacing if working with delicate silks or rayons to prevent puckering. To shorten the zip, simply measure to your desired length, mark the point, and stitch a new bar tack across the coils several times using your machine's zigzag stitch before cutting off the excess. When ironing garments with this zip, use a pressing cloth and avoid high heat directly on the nylon teeth to prevent melting or distortion.
