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

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.

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.

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.
