INSERTING ZIPPERS AND PIPING
Use zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper or to
sew close to the cording.
INSERTING ZIPPERS

HAND-LOOK QUILT STITCH
This stitch is designed to look like hand sewing for topstitching
and quilting.
1. Thread bobbin with desired top stitching color. When
sewing the machine will pull this thread to the top.
2. Thread machine with invisible or lightweight thread the color
that matches your fabric. This thread should not show.
3. Increase thread tension a little bit at a time until you
acheive the desired appearance.
4. Start to sew.
PIPING
Create a piping by covering a filler cord with a bias strip of fabric.
Attach the right side of the zipper foot to the foot holder so that
the needle passes through the right side of the zipper foot.
Baste the seam allowances together, enclosing the filler cord,
forming seam tape for the piping.
Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the needle position to
sew closer to the piping may be accomplished with
the Stitch Width Control.
