Product Information

Full details

The Milward Concealed Invisible Closed End Zip is an ideal choice for dressmakers and tailors who require a seamless, professional finish on garments like skirts, trousers, and dresses. Its no. 3 coil nylon design provides a lightweight, discreet fastening that disappears into the fabric seams, offering an elegant aesthetic for high-quality apparel. While the 60cm length is versatile for most adult clothing, users should note that because it is a closed-end zipper, it is not suitable for open-front jackets or coats that require a separating mechanism.

FAQs

Can I shorten this zip?

Yes, this zip features an adjustable stopper that allows you to shorten the length to fit your specific needs.

Is this a separating zipper?

No, this is a closed-end zipper, meaning the bottom remains joined. It is not suitable for coats or jackets.

What is the width of the coil?

This is a no. 3 coil, which is a standard lightweight size suitable for most clothing fabrics.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a sewing machine with an invisible zipper foot, thread, and a fabric marker for alignment.

Can this be used on heavy fabrics?

It is designed for light to medium-weight fabrics; it may not be suitable for heavy-duty denim or canvas.

Troubleshooting

Zip is visible on the outside of the garment

Ensure you are using an invisible zipper foot and sewing as close to the coil as possible without stitching over it.

Slider is difficult to move after installation

Check that your seam allowance isn't catching the coil; re-press the zipper tape if it is too close to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a seamless, professional finish to garments
  • Lightweight material won't weigh down lighter fabrics
  • Easily adjustable to custom lengths
  • Discrete design hides the zipper teeth effectively

Cons

  • Not suitable for separating applications like jackets
  • Requires a specific concealed zip foot for best installation results
  • No. 3 coil is intended for lighter fabrics and not heavy-duty upholstery

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.

  1. Press the zipper tape flat with a cool iron before sewing to ensure smooth placement.
  2. Align the tape with your fabric seam allowance.
  3. Use the adjustable stopper at the bottom of the zip if you need to shorten the total length to match your pattern instructions.
  4. When laundering garments, ensure the zip is fully closed to prevent the teeth from snagging on other clothing or becoming distorted in the wash.
