Description
A mid blue with no green cast — the colour between pale and dark blue that combines with either. At 20 cm of tooth length it fits wherever you need exactly that opening — measured on your finished pattern piece, not on paper.
At 3 mm the coil counts among the narrow versions: it draws little attention and sets neatly into a short seam. On stretch fabrics, lay a strip of interfacing or a narrow stay tape into the seam allowance, or that edge stretches as you sew and ripples later. On firm wovens it is unnecessary.
What Closed-End Zip 20 cm Mid Blue is suitable for
- Cushion covers, because the opening can be measured exactly.
- Dresses fastening at the side, because that seam stays calm.
- Rucksacks, because a fixed stop takes strain.
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
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 set it into a bag?
Before closing the side seams, while the pieces still lie flat. Your machine then reaches everywhere and the seam runs straight instead of fighting a curve.
Which presser foot do I need?
A zip foot. It runs beside the teeth rather than over them, so your seam comes close enough without the foot riding up and the stitching wandering.
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.
