Description
Dark grey is the restrained alternative to black. On mid-tone fabrics it draws a line without reading as hard. Its length is 18 cm. That is tooth length; the tape above it disappears into your seam allowance.
These teeth are brass and keep their warm golden tone. At 4 mm they stay fine enough for blouses and light jackets. Inside, a facing or lining covers the tape. Without either, finish your seam allowances with overlock or zigzag beforehand — beside the tape, raw edges fray otherwise.
What Closed-End Zip 18 cm Dark Grey is suitable for
- Cushion covers, because the opening can be measured exactly.
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
- Sewing folders and tool rolls, because this fastener holds the contents.
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.
Does it work on jersey?
Yes, if you stabilise the edge. A strip of interfacing or a narrow stay tape in the seam allowance stops that edge stretching as you sew and rippling later.
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.
How does it look tidy inside?
A facing or lining covers the tape. Without either, finish your seam allowances with overlock or zigzag beforehand, or they fray beside the tape.
