Product Information

Full details

The Milward Concealed Invisible Closed End Zip is designed for dressmakers and tailors looking to achieve a professional, seamless finish on garments like dresses, skirts, and trousers. This lightweight, no. 3 coil nylon zip provides a clean aesthetic by hiding the mechanism within the seam, making it the ideal choice for polished sewing projects. While its adjustable stopper allows for custom length trimming, users should be careful to secure the end properly to maintain functionality during high-tension use.

FAQs

Can I use this zip for trousers?

Yes, it is excellent for trousers, provided the fabric weight is compatible with a no. 3 coil zip.

How do I shorten the zip?

Measure your desired length, trim the excess from the bottom, and create a new stopper using a few stitches by hand or a metal crimp.

Is this a separating or closed-end zip?

This is a closed-end zip, meaning the bottom remains permanently joined.

What does 'no. 3 coil' mean?

This refers to the width of the zipper teeth, where no. 3 is a finer, more lightweight size perfect for clothing.

Does this come in different colors?

Yes, Milward offers these zips in a variety of colors to match different fabric types.

Can I iron over the zipper?

You can iron the fabric around the zip, but avoid touching the nylon teeth directly with a hot iron.

Troubleshooting

Zipper pull is difficult to move.

Ensure that no loose threads or fabric edges are caught in the teeth during installation.

Zipper teeth are visible after installation.

Adjust the needle position on your sewing machine to stitch closer to the zipper coil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Seamless, professional aesthetic for garments
Easy to shorten to custom lengths
Lightweight construction suitable for delicate fabrics
Durable nylon coil mechanism
Wide range of potential applications in dressmaking

Cons

Requires precision sewing to achieve the 'invisible' effect

Must be careful when trimming to avoid damaging the coil

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this zip, position the coil face down against the right side of your fabric seam. Use an invisible zipper foot to guide the teeth through the groove, which helps push the coil flat as you stitch. When caring for garments featuring this zip, always ensure the zipper is fully closed before laundering to prevent snagging on other items. While the nylon coil is heat resistant, avoid direct contact with a high-temperature iron on the plastic teeth, as this may cause warping.
