Attaching the Zipper
• Using Foot #1C and straight stitch #1, sew the seam from the
bottom to where the zipper stop will be.
• Select Basting Stitch #21 and continue to within ½" from the
top of the seam.
• Change back to stitch #1; sew the rest of the way to secure.
• Press the seam open and place the right side of the zipper
against the seam allowance, so the zipper teeth are centered
over the seam.
• Pin or baste (using a temporary spray adhesive) each side of
the zipper to the seam allowance only.
• Change to Zipper Foot #4; adjust the needle position to the
right and to the left as needed to get close to the zipper teeth.
• Sew through the zipper tape and seam allowance only, from
the bottom to the top on each side.
• Pin or baste through all layers.

make sure the seam guide on the foot is lying in the ditch
of the seam.
