How to Sew A Centered Zipper?

Zippers first appeared at the Chicago World's Fair in the 19th century and were widely used after World War I. They are a common and useful accessory, especially for heavier fabrics, as well as for breeches and coats. Invisible nylon zippers are commoner. Zippers are not suitable for lightweight fabrics because they are rigid. On the other hand, especially for knitted garments, zippers are more suitable than buttons because zippers do not have gaps. For designers, it is crucial to have sharp eyes when choosing the best design scheme. The detailed design will unify the style of clothing.

There are many kinds of zippers. The closed end metal zipper is commonly used in skirts, jeans, and open-necked clothing, as well as in pockets. The open end metal zipper is commonly used in plackets or jackets. It can also be used in certain areas of clothing, such as hoods, sleeves, and trouser legs, to enhance the appearance of the garment. The open end metal zipper is not suitable for clothes that open and close at the back because it is difficult to zip up. So, how to sew a centered zipper？

Firstly, we should use the zipper machine to complete the sewing of the two middle and rear edges. We need to turn the fabric over and mark the centered zipper position with a chalk or water-soluble pen at the top of the two central back seams. Then we should sew them together 20 centimeters down from the top of the belt. The last thing we should do is to cut a corner at the bottom without cutting the seams. Whether it's a resin zipper or a plastic zipper, you should be careful not to cut the seams.

Secondly, you should fold the fabric and align the middle back edge with the stitching. Then we should start with the stitching and work our way down to the edge.

Thirdly, you need to position the zipper slider toward the bottom edge. Then you should align the zipper so that the end of the zipper block is directly below the horizontal stitch. The last thing we need to do is sew the zipper into place along the horizontal seams.

Finally, turn it back to the front and you can see that it's taking shape. Next, we use double-sided tape to temporarily fix the zipper on the seam and align it.

In the zipper production industry, an industrial chain from technical production to cultural consumption has been improved. This "cultural form attachment", which can affect the change of the entire industrial form, is not limited to the zipper, a microscopic industrial design product. The development of other zipper accessories will eventually reach the inevitable end point of "cultural attachment".
