zippers
There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow
the directions included with your pattern for best

For some zipper applications it is important to sew
close to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot 4 can

be snapped onto the presser foot holder on the left
or right, for stitching on either side of the zipper. Set
the stitch position so that the needle enters close to
the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 37
needle positions available for the straight stitch.
Note: If the presser foot is attached on the right side of the

presser foot holder, the needle should only be moved to
the left. If the foot is attached on the left side of the presser
foot holder, the needle should only be moved to the right.
When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a
denim hem, the presser foot can tip as the machine
climbs over the seam.
Use the multipurpose tool to balance the height of
the presser foot as you sew. One side of the tool is
thicker than the other. Use the side that suits the
thickness of the seam best.
Engage the IDT system, see page 2:9. At the
™
thickest point on the fabric, slow down the sewing
speed.
Tip! Increasing the stitch length may improve the sewing
result when sewing hems in heavy fabric.
