Description
A clear red with neither blue nor orange cast. On dark fabrics this fastener becomes a deliberate accent. Its length is 20 cm. That is tooth length; the tape above it disappears into your seam allowance.
This version carries a fine 3 mm coil. On light fabrics it is the calmer choice against metal. Topstitching sits best 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.
What Closed-End Zip 20 cm Red is suitable for
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
- Dresses fastening at the side, because that seam stays calm.
- 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.
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.
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.
