Each 6m reel comes with 12 sliders, which can be positioned anywhere along the chain and locked in place by sewing across the ends. The No 3 chain is the standard choice for dressmaking, bags, and cushions; the No 5 is heavier and better suited to bags, upholstery, and applications where a chunkier zip is appropriate. Both sizes are available in the most-used neutral colourways. How to Fit Cut the chain 2cm longer than required at both the top and bottom. Thread one slider onto the chain and position it within the cut length. Sew across the full width of the chain at both ends to retain the slider securely. Trim any excess chain flush with the seam once sewn in. How to Order Select your chain size (No 3 or No 5) from the first dropdown. Select your colour from the second dropdown. Add to basket — each reel is 6m with 12 sliders included.
