SEWING ZIPPERS
The Zipper Foot E can be snapped on either the right or the
left of the needle, making it easy to sew both sides of the
zipper. To sew the other side of the zipper, reposition the
Zipper Foot.
Move the needle position far left or far right to stitch close to
the zipper teeth or cording.

1. Sew the two fabrics right sides together along the 5/8''
(15mm) seam line, stopping at the notch for the zipper
placement.
2. Baste the remaining seam where the zipper will be placed.
Press the seam open. Place the zipper with its right side to
the pressed open seam allowance, placing the zipper stop
at the notch. Pin the zipper on the right side so it stays in
place (A).
3. Select straight stitch and move the needle position to the
left. Snap on the Zipper Foot E so the needle is on the left
side of the foot. Place fabric under the foot right side up
with the zipper foot on the right side of the zipper.
4. Begin stitching across the bottom, turn the fabric and
stitch the right side of the zipper to the top (B).
5. To avoid fabric shifting, sew the left side of the zipper
in the same direction. Snap on the Zipper Foot E so the
needle is on the right side of the foot. Move the needle
position to the right.
6. Begin stitching across the bottom, turn the fabric and
stitch the left side of the zipper sewing from the bottom to
the top (C).
7. Remove the basting stitches.
Note: To adjust the position of the stitching line, adjust the needle
position with the stitch width buttons.
