Raise the foot and the needle to its highest position by turning the
hand wheel towards you. Replace the foot with the zipper foot.
1. Pin or baste the zipper tape to the fabric and place it in
position under the foot.
Attach snap on zipper foot so that the needle is on the left side.
* When starting to sew, both needle and bobbin threads ends
should be under the foot and toward the back.
2. Sew on the right side of the zipper by guiding zipper teeth as
close as possible to the needle. Before the foot reaches the slider
on the zipper tape, raise the foot and open the zipper while
keeping the needle in the fabric.
Lower the foot and sew of the the rest of the seam.
3. To sew the left side of zipper, change position of the foot to the
left side of the needle. Sew in the same way as on the right
side of zipper.
