A clear white with no cream cast. On white or pale fabrics it stays discreet; on dark ones it turns into a design element. Tooth length comes to 14 cm. Lay it against your piece before cutting and you will see at once whether the opening sits right.
At 3 mm the coil counts among the narrow versions: it draws little attention and sets neatly into a short seam. This fastener ships singly, so you match your quantity exactly. A spare in your sewing box never hurts though: it is quicker to hand than a reorder.
What Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse Weiß is suitable for
Cushion covers, because the opening can be measured exactly.
Trousers and skirts, because only an opening should part there.
Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
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.
Available in more colours in the Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse series.
Frequently asked questions
Does it suit trousers?
Yes — for trousers and skirts a closed-end zip is exactly right, since it should not open fully there. Just make sure the length matches the opening in your pattern.
How do I get the seam close to the teeth?
With a zip foot, a slow pace and a tacked edge. Press the allowance beforehand and it lies flat while you sew, so the seam keeps an even distance.
Which needle should I use?
A universal needle in a suitable size. Never sew across the teeth themselves — on metal a needle breaks, on plastic it bends. Push the slider aside first.
Do I need two sliders?
Closed-end fasteners carry one, and that suffices — two sliders only make sense on long, separating fasteners, such as coats you want to open from the bottom.
