Description

A clear red with neither blue nor orange cast. On dark fabrics this fastener becomes a deliberate accent. 20 cm is the length most often needed on children's skirts, inner pockets and standard cushions: long enough to reach in, short enough to vanish into a seam.

Coil 3 mm on a tape in 100 % polyester. Since only the slider shows on a finished piece, a roughly matching tone suffices when choosing colour. For maximum discretion, take the next darker shade — a fastener too pale stands out more than one too dark. Sew it in before closing the seam.

What Invisible Zip 20 cm Red is suitable for

  • Children's skirts, because the length suits a short opening.
  • Standard-size cushions, because the cover opens far enough.
  • Bench cushions, because the cover stays removable.

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

Do I need a special presser foot?

Practically yes. An invisible zip foot rolls the coil open as you sew and guides your seam right beneath it. Without one, your seam stays too far away and the teeth show.

In what order do I sew?

The opposite way round from an ordinary zip: first sew the fastener into the open edges, then close the seam below it. Sew first and insert after, and you will never get it neatly under.

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.

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.
