Product Information

Full details

The Milward Concealed Invisible Closed End Zip is an essential tool for dressmakers and tailors looking to achieve a professional, seamless finish on garments such as dresses, skirts, and trousers. This 25cm, no. 3 coil nylon zip provides a discreet fastening solution that hides the zipper teeth within the seam for a clean aesthetic. While it is perfect for high-quality garment construction, users should note that the lightweight coil design is intended specifically for dressmaking fabrics rather than heavy-duty upholstery or denim.

FAQs

Can I use this zip for heavy denim?

No, this is a lightweight no. 3 coil zip intended for dressmaking fabrics, not heavy-duty materials.

What is the total length of the zip?

The zip is 25cm in length.

Is this a separating zip?

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

Does it come in other colors?

Milward offers a range of colors, though this specific item is in Fawn.

Do I need a special foot to sew this?

While it is possible to sew with a standard foot, an invisible zipper foot is highly recommended for best results.

Troubleshooting

The zipper slider feels stuck or stiff.

Check for fabric threads caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper tape is laid perfectly flat against the fabric.

The zipper is visible from the outside.

You likely stitched too far away from the coil. Use an invisible zipper foot to get closer to the teeth.

The zipper is too long for the garment.

Use pliers to move the adjustable stopper to the desired length and trim the excess tape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a professional, invisible finish for high-end garment construction.
  • Easily adjustable length to fit various garment patterns.
  • Lightweight construction prevents bulkiness in seams.
  • Reliable no. 3 coil design ensures smooth operation.

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty applications like bags or heavy denim.
  • Requires specific installation techniques for a truly invisible effect.
  • Fixed 25cm length requires adjustment if your pattern calls for longer zips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, always pre-press your seam allowances flat. It is highly recommended to baste the zipper into place before final stitching to ensure the teeth remain perfectly aligned with the seam line.

  • Compatibility: This zip is compatible with most standard sewing machines. Use an invisible zipper foot for optimal alignment.
  • Care: Garments containing this zip are generally machine washable. To prolong the life of the zip, always ensure it is fully closed before putting the garment in the wash. Avoid pressing directly over the plastic coil with a hot iron, as excessive heat can deform the teeth.
