SINGER 2118 - Manual (Page 25)

To get stitching even and close to the zipper teeth,
use the special zipper foot.
^ When zipper teeth are to the left of the nee­
dle, slide the adjusting block (1), which slides
on the pin of the foot, all the way to the right.
^
Snap on foot with shank to the left side of
pin. (See “Changing Snap-on Presser Feet”)
^ Hand-baste the zipper opening to the seam
line (2), and press open the seam allowance.
^ Place open zipper face down on the seam
allowance with the teeth against the seam line.
^
Stitch the zipper to the seam allowance from
bottom to top on one side.
To stitch the other side of zipper (teeth to the
right of needle):
^ Snap off foot and slide the adjusting block
(1) all the way to the left. Then, snap right
side of pin onto shank as above.
^
Sew other side of zipper to seam allowance.
^
Baste through the zipper tapes, seam
allowances, and garment exterior.
* Turn the garment right side up and topstitch
it to the zipper, sewing through all layers.
It is suggested more in-depth instructions be
consulted since there are many ways to use
zippers in garments.
