Clothing zippers look like simple general items for sewing, but there are actually many different types of zippers, such as nylon zippers, plastic zippers, and brass zippers. Zippers also have different functions, such as waterproofing and decoration. And they can all be used in different ways. When using a zipper in a sewing project, it is important to understand the different types and how to use the zipper correctly. Today we introduce several commonly used zippers. Universal zipper A universal zipper, also known as a coil Nylon Zipper, is a standard zipper type. Most of these zippers are now made of polyester. This is the type of zipper you use most and is very popular. The zipper is lightweight and is used for closure purposes. Universal zippers are available in a variety of colors and sizes. You can also choose the color of the teeth and the fabric around the zipper. Invisible Zipper Concealed zippers are available in a wide variety of sizes and colors. This type of zipper is sewn into the seams of the garment so that no zipper is visible on the outside. The zipper's teeth are usually smaller and have smaller handles. These types of zippers are commonly used in dresses or skirts. 
Metal Zipper Metal zippers have two sets of parallel metal teeth that are very strong. The teeth are molded and placed at specific intervals along the outer fabric. Usually, these types of zippers can be found on jeans or other trousers. Separate zipper Separate zippers have different types of materials and different lengths. These types of zippers allow the clothes to be fully opened. They are usually used in jackets or jackets. They open at the end or bottom of the garment and they act by closing the garment using a box and pin mechanism. The purchase of the zipper must be sized. Please note that the excess fabric at the top or bottom of the zip is not included in the zipper size. There are many zippers for different purposes, and you want to make sure you choose the best zipper for your project. Dresses, skirts, pants, shorts and jackets don't use the same type of zipper, so make sure you choose the perfect zipper!
