Product Information

Full details

The Milward Concealed Invisible Closed End Zip is designed for sewing enthusiasts and fashion designers looking to create a seamless, professional finish on garments such as dresses, skirts, and trousers. The primary benefit of this 60cm nylon zip is its ability to remain hidden once installed, providing a sleek, clean appearance to your clothing projects. A key caveat to note is that because this is a closed-end zipper, it is not suitable for jackets or items that require the zip to open completely at both ends.

FAQs

Can I shorten this zip?

Yes, you can adjust the stopper to your required length and trim the excess nylon coil.

Do I need a special foot for this?

While possible to sew with a standard foot, an invisible zipper foot is highly recommended for achieving a truly concealed result.

Is this zip suitable for heavy denim?

It is best suited for light to medium-weight fabrics; it may not be robust enough for heavy-duty denim jackets or workwear.

What is the material of the coil?

This zipper features a no. 3 coil nylon, which is durable and flexible.

Can this be ironed?

Yes, but use a low-to-medium heat and avoid direct contact with the nylon teeth to prevent melting.

Is the zip separating?

No, this is a closed-end zip, meaning the bottom is permanently joined.

Troubleshooting

Zip is sticking or hard to pull

Ensure no loose threads from the seam allowance are caught in the coil; use a pencil lead on the teeth as a dry lubricant if necessary.

Zip is visible from the outside

Double-check that you are stitching close enough to the teeth and that your seam allowance is pressed flat before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a professional, invisible finish on clothing
  • Lightweight and flexible nylon construction
  • Easy to shorten for custom project lengths
  • Ideal for a variety of garments including skirts and dresses

Cons

  • Not suitable for separating applications like jackets
  • Requires a specific concealed zip presser foot for best installation
  • Limited to fixed closed-end usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, place the zipper face down on the right side of your fabric seam. Use an invisible zipper foot to guide the teeth through the groove, allowing the machine to stitch right up to the coil. When pressing the garment, use a low to medium heat setting on your iron, as the nylon coil can melt if exposed to excessively high temperatures. Avoid pressing the iron directly onto the plastic teeth of the zipper; instead, use a pressing cloth or press from the side to maintain the integrity of the zip.
