FAQs

Can this zip be shortened?

This is a closed-end zip, so it is not designed to be shortened. You should choose the length that matches your pattern requirements.

Is this a separating zip?

No, this is a closed-end zip, meaning the two sides remain joined at the bottom.

Is the zip heavy duty?

No, this is a fine, no. 2 coil zip intended for light-to-medium weight garments, not for heavy-duty items like backpacks or upholstery.

Can I use this for trousers?

Yes, it is suitable for trousers, provided the length matches the required fly or side opening.

What is the exact length of the zip?

The zip length is 15cm (approximately 5.9 inches).

Troubleshooting

The slider is stiff or sticks

Check for loose threads caught in the teeth and gently work the slider back and forth to clear the debris.

Puckering along the zipper seam

Reduce the tension on your sewing machine and ensure the fabric is not being stretched while you feed it through the machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Slim, low-profile design minimizes fabric bunching
  • Durable nylon construction withstands regular wash and wear
  • Easy for beginners and professionals to install
  • Perfect length for standard skirt and dress openings

Cons

  • Fixed 15cm length limits use in longer garment openings
  • Closed-end design is not suitable for jackets or open-front cardigans
  • Not intended for heavy-duty upholstery or denim fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Tips:

  1. Ensure your machine is fitted with a standard zipper foot to get close to the coil without hitting the teeth.
  2. Use a long basting stitch to hold your seam closed before installing the zip permanently.
  3. Press your fabric seam allowance open before placing the zip for a flatter, more precise result.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Can be machine washed alongside the garment. It is recommended to keep the zip fully closed during the wash cycle to prevent the slider from catching on other fabric.
  • Ironing: Use a low-to-medium heat setting. Avoid touching the hot iron directly to the nylon coils, as excessive heat can deform the plastic teeth.
