Zippers
Endless zippers are continuous zipper tapes that you can cut to the desired length and finish with sliders and stoppers. In our selection, you will find fine-toothed versions in 3 mm and 5 mm as well as metal-look versions that are particularly suitable for visible, decorative fasteners.
What are endless zippers suitable for?
Endless zippers are very versatile: they are suitable for jackets and coats, zipper inserts in bags and backpacks, pillowcases, bedding and accessories. The slimmer 3 mm chains work well for lightweight garments and fine sewing, while the 5 mm variants provide a little more stability and are ideal for robust bags or coats.
How do hobby seamstresses use continuous zippers correctly?
- Cut to length: Cut zipper tape to length with sharp scissors.
- Select the right slider: Match slider size to tooth width (3 mm / 5 mm)
- Secure ends: use stoppers or sewing to prevent the slider from running out.
- Presser foot and needles: Sewing precisely with zipper foot and a suitable needle (stronger for thick fabrics).
- Note the look: Metal looks can be used well as a visible detail - check position before sewing.
What makes metal endless zippers special?
The metal look gives projects a robust, high-quality look. Whether silver, gold or darker shades - they create decorative accents and are practically resilient. When using them, make sure to choose sliders and stoppers that match the chain size and, if necessary, sew the sewing with stronger threads if a lot of strain is expected.
