How to sew a secret zipper

Novice seamstress is often wondering - is it too difficult to put a secret zipper? The answer to this question is negative, because in practice it is easy to sew a secret zipper, especially if you know how exactly it is done. Let's figure it out today in this matter and find out all the existing nuances.

Fixtures for secret lightning

Often the secret lightning is used as a way of fasteners skirts or dresses (in this case, it is sewn from the side of the fastener most often, but also at the back, too, sometimes you have to do so). In fact, this skill is very important, because the product with a secret zipper looks more accurate and refined. It is for this reason that each seamstress should be able to sew a secret zipper, especially since this is not difficult to do it.

Immediately, I would like to note that in order to enhance the secret lightning in any product necessarily have to use a special foot. Only using this adaptation to sew the secret lightning will turn out, as it should be, neatly and unnoticed.

Find this adaptation about which we can spend speech without problems and difficulties in any store of sewing accessories. It is also worth noting that the cost of such a sewing element is quite low. So, by the pocket of each average citizen.

It should also be noted that not only a special foot will become the main criterion for the quality of work performed, because in fact everything depends on the knowledge of the characteristics and tricks of the process under consideration. There are a lot of secrets that the seamstress should know if I decided to enter a secret zipper in the product. One of these sublicties is:

Mandatory addiction of tape zipper with an additional line so that in the future she has not shifted anywhere.
Despite so much, it would seem, a simple rule, pre-seam will still have to first make a flat and correct marking of two sections of the tissue and the lightning itself, and, and it will be necessary in the closed state.
Do not forget that in the process of installation of lightning should be the coincidence in any case, because zipper during the attachment should not shift anywhere. Otherwise, the clasp simply turns.

Settable zipper

Each seamstress should remember that the ideal installation of the secret lightning will be over time, because knowledge is not yet 100% guarantee of quality work, experience and operation is important here.

The rules that must be observed when establishing a secret lightning:

First of all, it is necessary to check the tension of both the bottom and the top thread machine. If the tension is excessively strong, then the thread will turn the sewing zipper, and it will turn in the closed state.
As soon as you weaken the pressure of the paws, the whole process will pass in normal mode and there will be no tightening.
For a secret zipper, you do not need to use excessively thick needles and threads, remember this.
Do not forget that the lining must be sewn to the tape of a secret lightning with a special foot (which is designed to install simple lightning). In the event that your sewing machine has a needle offset function, you can do this procedure and a conventional paw.
Treatment of secret lightning is also performed quite carefully - to begin withdrawing sections on the product in the place where you will install zipper. After that, you need to fix one side, and in this case it is necessary to leave a distance of one and a half centimeters to the rivet itself.
The next step in this process will be the sewage of the second tape zipper, after which it will be necessary to fasten it in order to test if there is no shift in this area.

We sew the seam of the product so that the bottom of the secret lock can be seen completely. To make it clearer, it must be said that this lower part should be located on the inside of the product, and approximately the centimeter below the place where the outer seam ends.
After all the operations done, it will be necessary to close the previously made lining.
In the event that you sew a product with a slot, then you will need to drive the seams in different directions, pre-processing them on overlock.

If there is no slot on the product and its fabric is quite lightweight, in this case it is often silent, it is for this reason that this seam will first need to spend well.

Specialists are recommended

Experimental seamstances recommend to sew a secret zipper as follows and adhere to the following rules:

Seve a zipper in the product only after connecting as part of the panel of your product, and you will not forget to leave the desired size of the fastener.
In order to in the process of insertion, the secret lightning in any way "moved" along the product itself, the seamstress should be pre-tape. Some seamstres, who have a fairly extensive experience in this business, do not descend, and simply tape attach to the tissue with ordinary pins.

If you do not like any other option, and you don't want to mount pins or leisurely, you don't want to use another advice - first add a braid to extra seams, just do not forget to retreat half acetimeter from the edge of the enhanced lightning.
Do not do also make big material points to shoot the hidden zipper. Remember that it is wide-bypasses that are most often imprinted on the front side of your product. So this fact should be borne in mind.

If you fulfill all the above actions consistently and listen to the recommendations of specialists, be sure that the secret zipper you seen are just perfect.
