Description

Cream sits between white and beige, reading softer than either. Beside wool or knit it looks warmer than a clean white. At 18 cm this is one of the short lengths — meant for cushion covers, small bags and necklines on children's things, where a long opening would only get in the way.

This construction is meant for dresses, skirts and cushions where a zip placket would intrude. Coil 3 mm, tape in 100 % polyester. At the lower end, sew as far as the foot will go, switch to an ordinary zip foot and close the rest of the seam — backstitch those last centimetres by hand, so nothing gapes. Inside, a facing or lining covers your seam allowances and the tape.

What Invisible Zip 18 cm Cream is suitable for

Covers for small cushions, because this opening suffices.
Necklines on children's clothes, because only the slider shows.
Pin cushions and cases, because a short opening suffices there.

Sewing tips

Ein spezieller Nähfuß für nahtverdeckte Reißverschlüsse ist praktisch Pflicht — er rollt die Spirale auf und führt die Naht direkt darunter.
Der Verschluss wird eingenäht, BEVOR die Naht darunter geschlossen wird. Das ist umgekehrt zum normalen Reißverschluss.
Vor dem Nähen die Spirale mit dem Bügeleisen auf niedriger Stufe flach ausrollen, dann kommt die Naht nah genug an die Zähne.
Beide Seiten von oben nach unten nähen, nicht gegenläufig — sonst verzieht sich die eine Seite gegen die andere.
Am unteren Ende so weit nähen, wie der Fuß kommt, dann den Rest der Naht mit normalem Fuß schließen und die letzten Zentimeter von Hand verriegeln.
Bei dehnbaren Stoffen ein schmales Formband oder Vlieseline in die Nahtzugabe legen, damit die Kante gerade bleibt.
Zum Waschen schließen und nicht direkt über den Schieber bügeln.

Frequently asked questions

Which direction do I sew from?

Both sides from top to bottom. Sew them against each other and one half travels against the other, leaving your opening crooked — on dresses that shows at once.

Can I shorten it?

From the top yes: cut it off, 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 does it look tidy inside?

A facing or lining covers your seam allowances and the tape. If you have neither, finish those allowances with overlock or zigzag beforehand, or they fray beside the tape.

How do I set it into a cushion cover?

Into the side seam, before sewing the cover together. Measure so your opening takes up at least half the cushion width — otherwise the insert only goes back in with a struggle.
