Zip - IKEA SY Instruction Manual

ENGLISH

Zip

Choose the straight stitch by turning stitch selector dial to either A, B or C.
The thread tension should be from 1-4. Make sure the zip foot is properly
attached (page 21).
1. Move the needle upwards by turning the hand wheel towards you.
Install the zip foot so that the needle can only sew to the left of the
foot.
2. Pin or tack the zip to the fabric. Place the fabric under the zip foot.
Pull the top thread and bobbin thread towards the back of the machine
before you lower the zip foot.
3. When you sew the right-hand side of the zip onto the fabric, let the
teeth of the zip run alongside the edge of the zip foot. Before you get
to the top of the zip, lift the zip foot and unzip the zip, keeping the
needle in the fabric. Lower the zip foot and sew the rest of the right-
hand side. Secure the seam by pressing the reverse button and sewing
a few stitches backwards, and then releasing the button and sewing a
few stitches forwards.
4. Now change the position of the zip foot so that the needle can only sew
on the right-hand side. Sew the left-hand side of the zip to the fabric in
the same way as in point 3.
TIP! Try sewing on a scrap of fabric first to adjust any settings if
necessary before using the "proper" fabric.
