There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split
zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks
They can be inserted concealed or open, as
required
The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on
the right, depending on the work (Figs 1 and 2).
Fully concealed zippers
Baste the zipper in first. Snap the zipper foot in at
the right (Fig 1). Place the open zipper under the
footsothatitsright handguideedgemovesalong
the zipper teeth (Fig 3) By changing ttie needle
position (see page 53) the zipper can be stitched
in at a narrow depth Sew about half the seam at
the required depth, leave the needle down in the
material, raise the zipper foot and close the zipper
(Fig 4). Then lower the foot again, continue stitch
ing until you reach the end of the zipper and sew
across this end.
Sew along the other side of the zipper parallel to
the edge and at the same distance as the first
seam Shortly before you reach the end of the
seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise
the sewing foot, open the zipper (Fig. 5), lower the
foot again and sew to the end of the seam
Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom
mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel
seams
If the sewing foot shoe is engaged at the right, the
needle must only be varied to the right.
If the shoe is engaged at the left, the needle must
only be varied to the left.
