Sewing direction
[T] Fold back the upper layer seam allowance. Fold back
the lower layer seam allowance to leave a 1/8" (0.4 cm)
margin of fabric (l).
Place zipper teeth next to margin edge and pin margin to
zipper tape.
Align forward edge of zipper foot (4) with margin edge.
Return thread tension and stitch length to original
settings. Sew a seam the entire length of zipper tape,
removing pins as you go. Before reaching pull-tab, unzip
a few inches to clear a path for the stitch. Remove fabric
and close zipper.
[U Take the upper fabric layer and lay it flat over the zipper.
Beginning above pull-tab at top of zipper tape, sew a
seam about 3/8" to 1/2" (approx. 1.3 cm) distance from
the basting stitches. Stop sewing at a position just below
the zipper bottom stop.
Turn fabric 90° and sew to meet the bottom seam. Sew
in reverse a few stitches to lock.
Once both sides of zipper are sewn, use seam ripper to
open the basting stitch.
Rolled Hem Sewing
(1) stitch pattern selector: 1
(2) Presser foot: Hemmerfoot
(3) Needle thread tension: 2 to 6
(4) Stitch length: 1 . 5 - 4
To sew:
Fold the edge of the fabric twice, 6 cm (2 3,/8") in length
and 0.3 cm (1/8”) in width.
Trim the corner 0.5 cm (3/16”) by 0.8 cm (1/4”) for easier
insertion of the hem into the foot.
@ Wrong Side of the Fabric
(2) 0.5 cm (3/16”)
@ 0.8 cm (1/4”)
(4) Curl of the Foot
Place the fabric aligning the edge of hem with the guide
on the foot.
Lower the foot and sew to 1-2 cm (1/2”-1”) while pulling
both threads to the back.
Stop the machine and lower the needle into the fabric.
Raise the foot and insert the folded portion of the fabric
into the curl of the foot.
Lower the foot, and then sew by lifting up the edge of the
fabric to keep it feeding smoothly and evenly.
