Foot 15
Zippper Foot
112797-001
Standard PQ foot used for attaching zippers and
piping
Machine Set-Up:
Feed dogs up using one of the three settings based on
fabric and whether the pin feed is used (such as
attaching zippers to stretch fabric). Other settings are
based on the needs of the project.
Materials Needed for Sample:
Corded piping, linen and cotton fabric, transfer web
General Sewing Directions:
Attach the foot and use screw at back to position the movable foot relative to the needle. Depending on
the type of zipper you are installing, one of several methods may be used. Loosen the clamp screw at the
back and slide the presser foot to either side so the needle fits in the opening on the foot without hitting
the metal side. Turn the balance wheel slowly toward you to check that the needle does not hit the presser
foot. Secure the clamp screw.

plain fabric attached with transfer web to the center. The
Zipper foot (with pin feed engaged) attached the trim.
