Burgundy is a dark wine red with a slight brown note. It reads more festive than a clear red, and more grown-up at the same time. At 25 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. For cushion covers, make the opening at least half the cushion width — otherwise the insert only goes in with a struggle and the corners stay empty as you fill it.
What Nicht teilbare Reißverschlüsse Bordeaux 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.
- Cases and pouches, because the tape adds little bulk.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need two sliders?
Closed-end fasteners carry one, and that suffices — two sliders only make sense on long, separating fasteners, such as coats you want to open from the bottom.
