4.4 Stitching in a concealed zipper
Concealed zippers are a particularly elegant solution for clothing and are very practical when used on bags
and home furnishings. As these special zippers are hidden by the seam after being sewn in, they form an
almost invisible closure.
As the fabric feed can be difficult when starting to sew, it is recommended to hold the threads firmly or
to pull the fabric slightly to the back for a few stitches or to sew 1 – 2 cm reverse first.
> Open the zipper completely.
> Pin the right-hand half of the zipper with its right side against the right side of the right-hand fabric. The
spiral points away from the edge of the fabric.
> Fit the zipper foot for concealed zippers.
> Set the stitch pattern selector knob to position «A».
> Set the required stitch length.
> Set the stitch width to «0».
> Set the needle position to «Center».
