To insert zippers, consult the zipper package for instructions
on how to prepare zipper placket and place zipper. To sew
close to the zipper on the right side, snap the zipper foot onto
the presser foot holder on the left side so the needle passes
through the opening on the left side of the foot.
Snap the foot onto the presser foot holder on the other side of
foot to sew close to the left side of the zipper.
To insert piping, purchase pre-made piping or cover cording with a bias strip of fabric
using the zipper foot snapped on to the right side of the presser foot holder. Place the
piping between two layers of fabric. Stitch with the piping next to the foot, so the stitching
is tight against the cord.
CAUTION
Turn the handwheel by hand to make sure the needle does
not hit the zipper foot before you start sewing. Choosing a
different stitch will cause the needle to hit the presser foot
and break, which may damage machine or cause personal
injury.
Make sure the needle does not hit the zipper during sewing.
If the needle hits the zipper, the needle may break, which
may damage machine or cause personal injury.
