Additional Information
How to shorten a metal jeans zip (quick guide)
-
Mark the finished length from the bottom stop up.
-
Using pliers, remove metal teeth above the mark (both sides).
-
Add a new top stop (or stitch a tight bar-tack) just above the last tooth.
-
Trim excess tape. Never cut through teeth with scissors.
Sewing tips
-
Install with a zipper foot; baste the fly first for accuracy.
-
Interface fly pieces and waistband for strength and a crisp press.
-
Topstitch at 3.0–3.5 mm for that jeans look; go slow over bulk.
