It offers a smooth, reliable nylon coil construction that ensures longevity and ease of use in various fabric types, though users should ensure they select the correct 18cm length before starting their project as the closed-end design is not adjustable for length.

Because this is a closed-end zip with a reinforced bottom stop, it is not recommended to cut or shorten it as you would lose the functional stop.
While it can be used, this No. 2 coil is best suited for lighter to mid-weight fabrics; heavier fabrics may place too much stress on the fine teeth.
The zip measures 18cm, or approximately 7.1 inches.
Yes, Milward nylon zips typically feature a locking mechanism to ensure the slider stays in place during wear.
It is best to hold a swatch of your fabric against the zip in natural light to ensure the Dark Navy tone is a close match to your material.
Yes, nylon zippers are generally safe for standard professional dry cleaning processes.
Check for stray fabric threads caught in the track. If clear, apply a small amount of wax to the teeth to lubricate the slider.
Ensure you are using a zipper foot and that your needle position is adjusted to sit just off the edge of the teeth.
Use stabilizing tape or interface the seam allowance before sewing the zip to prevent the fabric from stretching.
To install this zip, pin the tape to your fabric seam allowance and baste before final stitching. Ensure the fabric is reinforced at the base of the zip to prevent stress on the closed-end stop.
