ZIPPER INSERTION
How the zipper is inserted will depend on the
type of garment and the location of the zipper.
With the adjustable zipper foot, you will find it
easy to sew an even line of stitching close to
the zipper.
The zipper foot can be used either to the left or
right of the needle, depending on where the
bulk of the garment is placed.
Adjusting the Zipper Foot
• Set machine for straight stitching.
• Attach the zipper foot as instructed on page 4.
When the zipper is to the right of the needle:
• Loosen the thumb screw at the back of the
foot, and slide the foot to the left of the nee­
dle.
• Check the position of the foot by turning the
hand wheel to lower the needle into the side
notch of the foot, making sure it clears the
foot.
• Lock the foot into position by tightening the
thumb screw.
• Lower presser bar. Make sure the needle
clears the foot on all sides of the notch.
When the zipper is to the left of the needle, ad­
just the foot to the right of the needle in the
same way.
