A Few Zip Tips
While the Empress Zip Range is of the highest quality we are pleased to provide some useful tips on how best to care for your zipper once it is installed in a garment.
When Stitching, the closer your stitch lines are to the elements the more force will be required to open and close the zip fastener.
Wash with the zip fastener closed – this helps maintain the integrity of the zip so it handles the forces experienced in washing much better.
When Ironing ensure the Zip Fastener is closed and with an iron temperature of less than 130°C. Ideally if you have to iron directly on top of the Zip do so with a damp cloth.
Colour Matching
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the colours on the shade card, due to the limitations in reproducing colours on various monitors and settings there may be variation.
For a completely accurate match Contact Us and we can either send you a sample or match to your fabric.
Recommended Sewing Thread
Empress Thread Plus – a superb thread for sewing all mid-weight fabrics, garments etc. Also ideal for sewing through multiple layers (i.e. coats, fleeces, etc.). Thread Plus is slightly thicker than a ‘general’ weight thread but will still run in a standard sewing machine needle.
