Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Milward Concealed Zip effectively, it is highly recommended to use an invisible zipper presser foot on your sewing machine. This tool allows the needle to sew as close to the coil as possible without catching it, ensuring the 'invisible' effect is achieved.
- Press the zipper tape flat with a cool iron before sewing to ensure smooth placement.
- Align the tape with your fabric seam allowance.
- Use the adjustable stopper at the bottom of the zip if you need to shorten the total length to match your pattern instructions.
- When laundering garments, ensure the zip is fully closed to prevent the teeth from snagging on other clothing or becoming distorted in the wash.
