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

presser foot holder so that the needle passes through the
opening on the left side of the foot.
To sew down the left side, attach right side of foot to foot

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 that
matches your fabric. This thread should not show.
3. Increase thread tension a little at a time and continue until
you acheive the desired appearance.
4. Start to sew.
PIPING
To pipe soft furnishings, cover cord with a bias strip of fabric
and pin or tack it to the main piece of fabric.
Attach right side of zipper foot to foot holder so that needle
passes through the opening on the right side of the foot.
Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the needle position to
sew closer to the piping may be accomplished with
the Stitch Width Control.
NOTE: For a dramatic appearance, experiment with
different tension and stitch length combinations.
