Sewing in zippers
The zipper foot E can be attached so that
it is located either to the right or to the left
of the needle, making it easy to sew both
sides of the zipper. To sew the other side of
the zipper, re-position the zipper foot.
Lapped zipper
Baste the opening together. Leave
approx. 2 cm (3/4") open at the top. Turn
the work so that the wrong side is up. Fold
the left seam allowance outward a couple of
mm from the basted seam.
Attach the zipper foot to the left of the
needle. Use the lower needle stop position.
Place the zipper with the right side up
under the folded seam allowance and sew
the right edge of the zipper, starting at the
bottom. Open the zipper a couple of cm (1")
before the seam is finished, raise the zipper
foot and pull the tab behind the foot. Lower
the foot and finish the seam.
Re-position the zipper foot to the right of
the needle. Sew the other side of the zipper
into place from the right side of the fabric.
Start with perpendicular stitching at the
lower edge and then sew from the bottom
to the top.
Remove the basting.
