Description
Orange red sits between red and orange, warmer than either alone. The shade recalls poppies. Its length is 20 cm. That is tooth length; the tape above it disappears into your seam allowance.
A plastic coil of 3 mm. It weighs almost nothing and stays flexible enough not to intrude on blouses or dresses. On blouses and dresses the fine version suffices; on bags and rucksacks it may run stronger. Width decides less about durability than about how visible the fastener becomes.
What Closed-End Zip 20 cm Orange Red is suitable for
- Cushion covers, because the opening can be measured exactly.
- Wash bags, because this fastener sews in flat.
- 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
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.
The slider sticks — what helps?
Usually fabric or a thread is caught between the teeth; ease it out rather than forcing it. If it still runs stiff, a little candle wax on the teeth helps.
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.
