Description

Sand is a pale, warm beige — the tone unbleached cotton and linen carry. On natural fabrics you barely see this fastener. 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.

A fine coil, 3 mm wide, on a polyester tape. On stretch fabrics a narrow stay tape in the seam allowance pays off, so your edge will not stretch as you sew or ripple later. Measure the length on your finished pattern piece, not on paper: the stated length is tooth length, and the tape above it disappears into your seam allowance.

What Invisible Zip 18 cm Sand is suitable for

Covers for small cushions, because this opening suffices.
Necklines on children's clothes, because only the slider shows.
Doll clothes, because this fastener stays small enough.

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 length do I need?

Measure the opening on your finished pattern piece, not on the paper pattern. The stated length is tooth length; the tape above it disappears into your seam allowance.

Will it show afterwards?

Only the slider. Those teeth lie entirely inside the seam, leaving a closed seam line outside — which is exactly why invisible zips are first choice on dresses and skirts.

Which colour should I pick?

Since only the slider stays visible, a roughly matching tone suffices. For maximum discretion, take the next darker shade — a fastener too pale stands out more than one too dark.

What is it made of?

Its tape is 100 % polyester and the coil is plastic too. That makes it lighter and more flexible than a metal fastener — exactly what an invisible seam needs.
