Attaching the Zipper Foot
When the zipper is to the right of the
needle:
• Move position block on zipper foot to
left, to allow shank to enter right side
of foot, so that needle will enter right
notch in foot.
When the zipper is to the left of the needle:
• Move position block on zipper foot to
right, to allow shank to enter left side
of foot, so that needle will enter left

CORDED SEAMS
The corded seam is a professionaf treat­
ment for slipcovers, children's clothes,
blouses, and lingerie. To make a corded
seam, make the welting first (or buy it
ready-made at a notions counter), then
stitch it into the seam. For both steps,
use the zipper foot to place the stitching
close to the cord.
