The Milward Nylon Dress & Skirt Closed End Zip (35cm, Red) is an essential tool for dressmakers and hobbyists looking to add secure, reliable fastenings to skirts, dresses, and trousers. Offering high-quality performance and smooth operation, this zip is perfect for both new garment construction and repair projects; however, users should ensure the 35cm length is appropriate for their specific sewing project as it cannot be shortened like an open-ended metal zipper.

No, avoid high heat directly on the nylon coil as it will melt and permanently damage the zip functionality.
Measure your planned opening on your sewing pattern and select a zipper that is at least 1-2cm longer than the required opening to allow for seam allowances.
Ensure no stray fabric threads are caught in the coil. You can apply a tiny amount of dry graphite or beeswax to the teeth to improve smoothness.
This often indicates the slider is loose. Use a pair of pliers to very gently squeeze the slider cage to increase tension on the teeth.
To install, pin the zip face-down onto your fabric seam and use a specialized zipper foot to sew as close to the coil as possible without hitting the teeth.
