ZIPPERS

At the notions counter in your Singer store,

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 loca­

tain easy-to-follow instructions. And, if you use
the zipper foot, you will find it easy to form an

even line of stitching close to the zipper.
