Description

Dark grey is the restrained alternative to black. On mid-tone fabrics it draws a line without reading as hard. 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.

An invisible fastener Coil 3 mm, tape in 100 % polyester. It looks harder than it is: sew a practice run on two scraps and you will see how close the seam comes to the teeth, then work calmly. All that really matters is the order — fastener first, seam beneath it afterwards.

What Invisible Zip 18 cm Dark Grey is suitable for

  • Covers for small cushions, because this opening suffices.
  • Wash bags, because this fastener lies flat.
  • 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

Should I press the coil first?

It helps a great deal. Roll the coil flat with an iron on a low setting, then your seam comes close enough to the teeth and the fastener disappears fully into the seam.

How do I finish 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 at the join by hand, so nothing gapes.

Is this manageable for beginners?

With the right foot yes; it looks harder than it is. Sew a practice run on two scraps and you will see at once how close the seam comes to the teeth, then work more calmly.

Which needle should I use?

A universal needle in a suitable size will do; on fine fabrics a Microtex. More important than the needle is not sewing across the coil — it is plastic, and a needle breaks easily there.
