No, this is a lightweight no. 3 coil zip intended for lighter garment fabrics and will not withstand the stress of heavy denim.
Milward zips are manufactured for standard garment use and are generally colorfast under normal wash conditions.
You can move the adjustable stopper down to your desired length and trim the excess tape at the bottom.
While it is possible to use a standard zipper foot, an invisible zipper foot is highly recommended for achieving a truly hidden finish.
Generally yes, but always check the care label of your garment for specific instructions regarding plastic components.
Check for loose threads caught in the teeth and ensure the fabric seam allowance is pressed away from the zip.
You may have stitched too far away from the coil; use an invisible zipper foot to get closer to the zipper teeth.
Carefully feed the slider back onto the teeth from the bottom, or check if the stopper was removed during shortening.
To install, pin your zipper face down against the right side of your fabric seam. If you need to shorten the zip, adjust the metal stopper at the bottom to your desired length and trim the excess tape, ensuring you secure the end with a few hand-stitched bar tacks to prevent the slider from falling off. Regarding care, these zips are machine washable; however, it is recommended to keep the zipper fully closed during the washing and drying process to prevent the teeth from snagging or distorting. Always iron on a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact between the iron and the plastic zipper teeth.
