Description

Beige is the calmest natural shade: between sand and light brown, making no statement of its own. It subordinates itself to any fabric rather than standing out. It measures 16 cm. Too long, and you shorten it from the top, setting a new stop there.

At 3 mm the coil counts among the narrow versions: it draws little attention and sets neatly into a short seam. Close the fastener before every wash, so the tape will not distort and the teeth cannot catch in other laundry. Never press directly over the slider.

What Closed-End Zip 16 cm Beige is suitable for

Bags with a zipped compartment, because it stays closed at the bottom.
Dresses fastening at the side, because that seam stays calm.
Rucksacks, because a fixed stop takes strain.

Sewing tips

Die angegebene Länge ist die Zahnlänge, nicht die Bandlänge. Für den Schlitz im Schnittmuster zählt die Zahnlänge.
Reißverschlussfuß verwenden und die Naht knappkantig neben den Zähnen führen.
Zu lange Verschlüsse lassen sich kürzen: oben abschneiden, neuen Anschlag mit Handstichen setzen und das Band in die Nahtzugabe einschlagen.
In Taschen den Verschluss vor dem Zusammennähen der Seitennähte einsetzen, solange die Teile noch flach liegen.
Bei dünnen Stoffen ein Stück Vlieseline unterlegen, damit die Kante nicht ausreißt.
Metallausführungen nicht bügeln; die Spitzenvariante nur von links und mit Tuch.
Zum Waschen schließen. Offene Zähne verhaken sich in Maschenware und ziehen Fäden.

Frequently asked questions

Can I shorten it?

From the top yes. Cut it to the length you need, 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.

How long should a cushion opening be?

At least half the cushion width, ideally a little more. Otherwise the insert only goes in with a struggle and the corners stay unfilled.

The slider sticks — what helps?

Usually fabric or a thread is caught between the teeth; ease it out rather than forcing it. If it still runs stiff, a little candle wax on the teeth helps.

Do I need two sliders?

Closed-end fasteners carry one, and that suffices — two sliders only make sense on long, separating fasteners, such as coats you want to open from the bottom.
