zippers that pucker when washed

[ Edited ]

why on earth does QVC allow venders to put zippers in coats that when you wash them

the thread shrinks and the zipper puckers ????

even in cold water , low heat this happens.

Try drying on no heat. I dry everything on no heat, even the towels.

@Harpa  Good answer!  Play it safe and let the coat air dry on a hanger.  Tumble on the no heat setting  briefly if needed.

 It is the cotton tape that the zipper is sewn to that shrinks. When you take it out of the washer that is the time to stretch it back out so that you can dry it for a couple of minutes, remove, stretch it out again and then leave out to dry.

Yeah, that's not good when that happens.

 

The word pucker just makes me laugh.  I'm not laughing at your issue.  No, not at all, I'm just browsing and that word is so silly to me.

 

I'm one of those people who can "taste" words and see color when I hear notes.  It can work like a swinging door though.  Even good things come with some kind of con.

 

Anyway, I never had this pucker with zipper issues but it sounds like a quality issue.  That is to say, the item sound like it needs to be higher quality.  Hope they fix it quickly for you.  Sorry for your trouble.

@nyrose18    If you want to alert qvc, you need to include the item # and send a message to them with the details to qvcsocialteam@qvc.com.  They can't do anything if they don't know which coat is problematic. The item # should be on a small tag somewhere in the coat.
