Sewing Zippers
The zipper foot E can be snapped on so that
it is located either to the right or to 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.
Lapped Zipper
1. Sew the seam together to the bottom of
the zipper placket. Baste the rest of the
seam. Leave about 2 cm open at the top.
Press seam open. Set the needle to the
right position.
2. Place presser foot E to the left of the
needle. From the wrong side fold the
fabric to one side so both seam allow-
ances are free. Fold and press the left
allowance under approximately 0.5 cm
from the basted seam.
3. Place the zipper under the folded seam
allowance with the teeth as near to the
fold as possible and stitch zipper to fabric
close to fold. Begin sewing at the bottom
of the zipper. Before reaching the zipper
pull, lift the presser foot and slide the
zipper pull down past the zipper foot.
Lower the foot and sew to the top of the
zipper.
4. Snap on the zipper foot so it is to the
right of the needle. Set the needle to the
left position. Turn the garment to the
right side. It is important that the seam on
the right side is sewn straight. Before you
begin to sew, mark the seam line. Sew
the other side of the zipper.
Begin stitching across the bottom and
continue upwards. Remove the basting.
If you want to sew a "gentleman's zipper",
follow the instructions but insert in the other
direction.
