A clear white with no cream cast. On white or pale fabrics it stays discreet; on dark ones it turns into a design element. It measures 12 cm. Too long, and you shorten it from the top, setting a new stop there.
3 mm of coil width — narrow enough for fine wovens, strong enough for the slider to grip securely. This construction needs no second slider — those only make sense on long, separating fasteners. Here one slider runs onto the fixed stop and stays there.
What Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse Weiß is suitable for
Bags with a zipped compartment, because it stays closed at the bottom.
Wash bags, because this fastener sews in flat.
Dresses fastening at the side, because that seam stays calm.
Sewing tips
Die angegebene Länge ist die Zahnlänge, nicht die Bandlänge. Für den Schlitz im Schnittmuster zählt die Zahnlänge.
Reißverschlussfuß verwenden und die Naht knappkantig neben den Zähnen führen.
Zu lange Verschlüsse lassen sich kürzen: oben abschneiden, neuen Anschlag mit Handstichen setzen und das Band in die Nahtzugabe einschlagen.
In Taschen den Verschluss vor dem Zusammennähen der Seitennähte einsetzen, solange die Teile noch flach liegen.
Bei dünnen Stoffen ein Stück Vlieseline unterlegen, damit die Kante nicht ausreißt.
Metallausführungen nicht bügeln; die Spitzenvariante nur von links und mit Tuch.
Zum Waschen schließen. Offene Zähne verhaken sich in Maschenware und ziehen Fäden.

Frequently asked questions
What does closed-end mean?
This fastener is closed at the bottom: the slider runs onto a fixed stop and both halves stay joined. Your piece opens only along the teeth, never completely.
Can I shorten it?
From the top yes. Cut it to the length you need, fold the tape into your seam allowance and set a new stop with a few hand stitches. From the bottom you cannot — that is where the fixed stop sits.
How do I care for the finished piece?
Close the fastener before every wash. The tape then will not distort and the teeth cannot catch in other laundry. Never press directly over the slider.
What do I do with the tape ends?
They run into the seam allowance and are caught there. Fold them slightly outwards at an angle, so they add no bulk at the corner and the slider reaches the top.
