6.5 Sewing both sides of the zipper from bottom to top

For fabrics with pile, such as velvet, it is recommended to sew in the zipper on both sides from bottom to
top.
When the fabric is densely woven or hard, it is recommended to use a needle with the size 90 – 100. This
results in an even stitch formation.
