As mentioned in previous blog posts, a lot of customers are unable to visit our retail stores in the North West and cannot find local haberdasheries to buy sewing items and therefore turn to our online mail order website to get their essentials. A number of customers look to Buy Zips Online if they are in need of a replacement zip or a zip to finish off their sewing project. Using our website you can Buy Zips Online such as plastic open end and nylon open end zips for jackets and cardigans, dress zips for skirts and dresses and nickel trouser zips for men's trousers. Some of the longest zips available from our website is our 36" plastic and nylon open end zips however some customers are looking for a longer size than this and for these customers we suggest continuous zipping. Continuous zipping is sold both by the metre and by the full roll and is ideal for customers who need an extra long zip or a number of zips in unusual sizes. Continuous zipping can be cut to length and is sewn into a project to create a closed end zip. It is useful for items such as cushion covers, bags and sleeping bags and recently the range of colours has been increased on our website. Customers can now Buy Zips Online in our continuous zipping range in cream, beige, black, navy and white. Continuous zipping and the zip pulls are sold separately which means that the zip pulls need to be attached before the zipping is sewn into your project. To add the zip pull, simply pull the two sides of the zipping apart and insert each side evenly into the larger end of the zip pull. It is very important to do this evenly so that the pull slides up and down on the zipping smoothly. Sometimes you may need an extra pair of hands for doing this!
