Zipping

Making cushion covers for a reupholstered sofa, box cushions, or quilted pillows, then upholstery zips are the right choice for you. By using these zips you can wash and change the cover on your sofa as often as you need without the hassle of unpicking the threads.

We have a great selection of continuous zips in a variety of colours so that you can match it to the fabric you are applying to. These strong upholstery zips are suitable for loose covers and cushions. After you have sewn the zipping in place pull the slide back into the required area, sew over the ends and trim to length. This ensures you get the exact fit you need.

Like the idea of using upholstery zips on your new furniture cushions, then here is a top tip for you: it can be very difficult to thread zips without a jig.

Don’t have a jig? Don’t worry we have just the one for you. Simply attach it to your machine table or a worktop with two screws and ‘hey presto’ the job is made simple.
