Sewing techniques
These techniques may require some special presser
feet and accessories.
Sewing in zippers
There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow
the directions included with your pattern for best
results.
For all types of zippers it is important to sew close
to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot 4 can be
snapped to the presser foot bar on the left or right,
depending on how you will insert your zipper.
Then set the stitch position so that it enters close
to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the
37 needle positions available for the straight stitch.
If the presser foot is attached on the right side, the
needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is
attached on the left, the needle must only be moved
to the left.
Sewing hems in heavy fabric
When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric
or a blue jeans hem, the presser foot can tip as
the machine climbs over the seam. Use the multi
purpose tool to balance the height of the presser
foot as you sew.
One side of the tool is thicker than the other. Use the
side that suits the thickness of the seam best.
Tip! Increasing the stitch length may improve the sewing
result when sewing hems in heavy fabric.
