Use the all-purpose presser foot (a) and the zipper foot (b)
NOTE
The zipper foot can be adjusted to sew on either side of the
zipper. The edge of the foot guides the zipper so that it is posi-
tioned straight.
NOTE
Zipper foot should be used for sewing straight stitches only. It
is possible that the needle could hit the presser foot and break
when sewing other stitch patterns.
NOTE
When sewing, be sure that the needle does not touch the zip-
per, otherwise the needle may bend or break.
v Centered zipper sewing:
1. Preparation:
1.
Insert the all-purpose presser foot (a).
2.
Place the right sides of the fabric on top of each other and
sew to the end of the zip opening with a seam allowance of

es. In the area of the zipper opening, baste the seam with
thread tension less than 2 and with maximum stitch length.
Press open the seam allowance. Place the zipper face
down on the seam allowance with the teeth against the
seam line. Baste the zipper band to the fabric to prevent it
from slipping.
