The Milward Concealed Invisible Closed End Zip is designed for home sewists and tailors looking to achieve a professional, seamless finish on garments like dresses, skirts, and trousers. This 40cm nylon zip offers a lightweight solution that hides within the seam, providing a clean aesthetic without visible stitching. While it provides excellent integration for high-quality apparel, users should note that the no. 3 coil design is best suited for light-to-medium weight fabrics rather than heavy-duty upholstery.

This zip is designed for light-to-medium weight garments. It is not recommended for heavy denim or industrial use.
Yes, it is suitable for standard machine washing, but always zip it up before laundering to protect the slider.
Yes, an invisible zipper foot is highly recommended to achieve the professional, hidden look.
Yes, the zip features an adjustable stopper that allows you to shorten the length to your project needs.
This zipper is 40cm (15.7 inches) in length.
Ensure that no excess fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and that the seam allowance has been properly pressed away from the zip.
This usually occurs if the stitch line is too far from the coil. Use an invisible zipper foot to guide the needle closer to the coils.
Verify that the adjustable stopper is firmly clamped at the bottom of the zip to prevent the slider from traveling past the end.
To install this zip, position the coil over your seam line and pin it in place. Using an invisible zipper foot allows the machine to uncoil the zipper tape as it stitches, ensuring the zip remains hidden once closed. If you need to shorten the zip, simply measure to your desired length, move the stopper down using a pair of pliers, and trim the excess tape. For care, keep the zipper closed during machine washing and ensure it is stored away from extreme heat to prevent warping the nylon coils. Always press your fabric with the zipper closed and use a pressing cloth if applying high heat near the nylon components.
