Currently, in stores, in addition to the usual lightning, you can also purchase a secret. This is a very popular type of fastener used in various models of trousers, skirts, dresses. Secret - that is, invisible and invisible. This quality allows you to use it for sewing many products.
So
how to sew secret zippers? In order to sew such a fastener, you will need certain sewing skills and perseverance. And also need materials and tools. Firstly, you need a hidden lightning itself. In appearance, it resembles the usual, only the teeth on it are on the wrong side. From the inside, it is the same as ordinary zipper on the front side. The secret zipper at the castle itself has a groove, along which it should be sewn. The seam can be laid further from the groove, but not closer. The closure must be about 2 cm longer than the cut. Secondly, you need a needle, thread and a sewing machine with a special foot for attaching zippers (single-track). Thirdly, a product is needed, to which we will sew a zipper. In our example, this is a skirt.
Before stitching the fastener in the skirt, you need to decide where it will be located - in the side or middle seam. The technique of stitching in all seams is the same. Secret lightning and threads must match the color of the product. After choosing a place, we get to work. We will look at how to sew a hidden zipper into the middle back seam of a skirt.
First, on the skirt, mark with the chalk or pin the length of the lock in the finished form, this is about 20 cm. Then we sew the middle seam from this mark. Before stitching, the sections must be overcast on an overlock or sewing machine. If the product is sewn from stretch fabric, then before sewing, the place for stitching the zipper must be glued with doubler strips so that the fabric does not stretch.
After the sections are glued, glued, seam sewn and flattened in ironing, we proceed to sew in the fastener. We put it on the fabric so that the upper ponytails are free. This is required to process the upper cut. First, we pin both sides of the zipper with pins to the fabric, and then we sew the section to the section, departing from the edge of 0.5 cm. After doing this, make sure that the secret lock is not skewed.
Then on the sewing machine we install a special foot for attaching zippers. We put the skirt so that one side of the fastener is under the foot. We start the line from the rivet and lay strictly along the groove to the place where the middle seam of the skirt begins.
Sew the other side as well. After stitching the zipper, it is necessary to close it and see if there are any distortions anywhere. To do this, you must be careful not to damage the line, first get the tail and then the dog itself through the free space below.
Sometimes it is required to sew a hidden zipper into a skirt made of stretch fabric on a lining without a belt. The lining in the skirts is used so that the back does not stretch during the wear process and the shape is better preserved. Also, thanks to the lining, skirt sticking to legs and electrification can be avoided. In addition, such a skirt will last much longer and wrinkle less.
Now let's talk about how to sew a hidden zipper into a skirt made of stretch fabrics. As already mentioned above, first glue the lock in place with double-strips of 2 cm wide.
Then we do everything the same way as on a skirt made of ordinary fabric. Only then it is necessary to sew a lining on both sides of the zipper. The lining and lining are sewn in a circle until the secret lock is sewn in. Having laid the seam from the inside to the fastener, grab the free tail that was left earlier. Sew the lining to the allowance where the hidden zipper has already been sewn. The seam is finished with 0.5 cm of the middle seam of the lining. We also do the other side.
Now everything is sewn. It remains only to turn out and iron the iron through a damp cloth. How to sew a hidden zipper into a lined skirt, we figured out.
