Description

A clear red with neither blue nor orange cast. On dark fabrics this fastener becomes a deliberate accent. 60 cm runs the whole back of an evening dress. On mattress and upholstery covers it is the length that lets the cover open completely.

Invisible means: no visible placket, no topstitching beside the teeth, just a closed seam line with a slider at its end. A fine 3 mm coil on a tape in 100 % polyester makes that possible. Roll the coil flat with an iron before sewing, then your seam comes close enough to the teeth and the fastener truly disappears. Sew both sides from top to bottom, or one half travels against the other.

What Invisible Zip 60 cm Red is suitable for

Evening dresses, because this opening runs the whole back.
Costume pieces, because that seam still looks closed.
Bridal gowns, because that seam stays closed down the back.

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

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.

Does it work on jersey?

Yes, if you stabilise the edge. A narrow stay tape or a strip of interfacing in your seam allowance stops that edge stretching as you sew and rippling afterwards.

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.

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.
