ZIPPERS
At the notions counter in your Singer Sewing
Center, you will find many different kinds of
zippers, one of which will be just right for
whatever you wish to sew. How the zipper is
inserted will depend on the type of garment
and the location of the zipper. The zipper
package will contain easy-to-follow instruc
tions. And, if you use the zipper foot, you will
find it easy to form an even line of stitching
close to the zipper.

ADJUSTING THE ZIPPER FOOT
When the zipper is to the right of the needle:
• Attach right side of zipper foot to shank
(needle will enter right notch in foot).
When the zipper is to the left of the needle:
• Attach left side of zipper foot to shank (nee
dle will enter left notch in foot).
CORDED SEAMS
The corded seam is a professional treatment
for slipcovers, children’s clothes, blouses,
and lingerie. To make a corded seam, make
the welting first (or buy it ready-made at a no
tions counter), then stitch it into the seam. For
both steps, use the zipper foot to place the
stitching close to the cord.
CAUTION; Use the pattern selector to select
straight stitch before attaching zipper foot to
the machine. This eliminates the possibility of
needle breakage.
