A pink with neither blue cast nor neon share — exactly the shade you first think of at the word. Friendly yet never childish. 20 cm long — pick your length by the pattern piece rather than the paper pattern, since seam allowances and hem change the measurement.
That continuous coil measures 3 mm. Unlike separate metal teeth it forms an even line and runs silently. Never sew across the teeth themselves: on metal a needle breaks, on plastic it bends. Open the fastener before a crossing seam and push the slider aside.
What Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse Rosa is suitable for
- Bags with a zipped compartment, because it stays closed at the bottom.
- Trousers and skirts, because only an opening should part there.
- 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
How long should a cushion opening be?
At least half the cushion width, ideally a little more. Otherwise the insert only goes in with a struggle and the corners stay unfilled.
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 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 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.
