Sewing zippers
If you want to sew a ”gentleman’s
zipper”, follow the instructions but
insert in the other direction.
The zipper foot E can be snapped
on so that it is located either to the
right or to the left of the needle,
making it easy to sew both sides of
the zipper. To sew the other side of
the zipper, reposition the zipper
foot.
3.
Place the zipper under the folded
seam allowance with the teeth as
near to the fold as possible and
stitch zipper to fabric close to
fold. Begin sewing at the bottom
of the zipper. Before reaching the
zipper pull, lift the presser foot
and slide the zipper pull down
past the zipper foot. Lower the
foot and sew to the top of the
zipper.
2.
Place presser foot E to the left of
the needle. From the wrong side
fold the fabric to one side so both
seam allowances are free. Fold
and press the left allowance
under approximately 0.5 cm from
the basted seam.
1.
Sew the seam together to the
bottom of the zipper placket.
Baste the rest of the seam. Leave
about 2 cm open at the top. Press
seam open.
Set the needle to
the right position.

4.
Snap on the zipper foot so it is to
the right of the needle.
Set the
needle to the left position.
Turn the garment to the right
side. It is important that the seam
on the right side is sewn straight.
Before you begin to sew, mark
the seam line. Sew the other side
of the zipper.
Begin stitching across the bottom
and continue upwards. Remove the
basting.
