Page 3 - Slider for endless RV
Sliders for endless zippers are among the inconspicuous helpers that reliably complete your sewing project. In this category you will find variants for different coil widths and types of zippers - so that you can find exactly the right zipper slider for your endless zipper.
What are the sliders suitable for?
Whether for pillowcases, covers, bags, sleeping bags or garments: Sliders for endless zippers are versatile. Finer sliders fit narrow coils (e.g. around 3 mm) and are suitable for delicate fabrics and light projects. Wider sliders (e.g. around 5 mm) are more robust and ideal for bags, larger bags or home textiles.
How to process - practical tips
To ensure that the zipper runs smoothly later on, here are some tried and tested tips for hobby sewers:
- Adjust the slider width to the coil width: A slider that is too large will slip, one that is too small will jam.
- Test on a sample piece before inserting instead of working directly on the finished project.
- When sewing in, work with a zipper foot and secure the slider in the open position so that the sewing does not interfere.
- Use the end stopper or sewing as a stop to prevent the slider from slipping off the zipper.
- If necessary, select a locking version if the zipper is not to be opened unintentionally.
What makes a good slider?
Good sliders for endless RVs run smoothly, sit tightly on the coil and are selected to suit the planned load. Differences lie in the material, shape and whether the slider has a locking function or not. Colors and designs also differ - for discreet or eye-catching solutions.
