Description
Petrol stands exactly between blue and green without deciding. Depending on its neighbour the shade tips one way or the other. Tooth length comes to 18 cm. Lay it against your piece before cutting and you will see at once whether the opening sits right.
A plastic coil of 3 mm. It weighs almost nothing and stays flexible enough not to intrude on blouses or dresses. 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 Petrol is suitable for
- Trousers and skirts, because only an opening should part there.
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
- Seat cushion covers, because the cover comes off for washing.
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
How does metal differ from coil?
Metal teeth sit separately on the tape; a coil runs continuously. Metal reads stronger and more visible, a coil stays lighter and more flexible — on thin fabrics the calmer choice.
How exactly must the colour match?
On visible fastenings as closely as possible; on concealed ones a roughly matching tone will do. If unsure, take the next darker shade — one too pale stands out more.
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.
How far should the topstitching sit?
About three to five millimetres beside the teeth. Too close and the slider brushes your seam; too far and the fabric throws a ripple over the tape.
