Sewing a zipper
Using the zipper foot, you can sew
closely along the edges of the zipper,
without damaging either the zipper or
the needle.
The zipper foot is also useful for sewing
edges or parallel seams.
Attach the
zipper foot,
as described
in Chapter 8.
• For the stitch pattern, select the
straight stitch.
Fold over about 2 cm of cloth and
place the zipper under the fold so
that the edges of the zip only just
stand out. It might be helpful to stitch
in the zipper first.
Sew as closely as possible along the
edges of the zipper.
- To sew the
left side
of the zipper,
the zipper foot must be placed to
the left of the needle.
- To sew the
right side
of the zipper,
the zipper foot must be placed to
the right of the needle.
