While technically possible, it is highly recommended to use an invisible zipper foot to achieve the proper professional finish.
You can cut the zip to the desired length and create a new stopper using several loops of thread or a zigzag stitch at the base.
This no. 3 coil zip is best suited for light to medium-weight fabrics; it may not be durable enough for heavy-duty denim applications.
The total length of this product is 60cm.
Milward components are high-quality, but it is always best practice to pre-wash your fabric to ensure colorfastness before sewing.
Ensure that no loose threads or fabric edges are caught in the teeth and confirm that the zip is aligned perfectly with the seam line.
This usually occurs if the needle did not sew close enough to the teeth. Use an invisible zipper foot to press the coil flat during the stitching process.
To ensure the best results, always test your stitch tension on a scrap piece of fabric before applying the zip to your main project. When shortening the zip, use a sharp pair of scissors to trim the excess tape and secure the new end with a few hand-sewn stitches or a zigzag stitch to replace the stopper. For care, it is recommended to wash the garment with the zipper closed to prevent the teeth from snagging on other items. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as the nylon coil can melt; use a pressing cloth or a low-temperature setting when ironing over the seam area.
