Depending on which side of the zip band you are sewing, the sewing foot must
always be on the fabric.
For this reason, the sewing foot is attached on either the left-hand or right-hand
side, and not in the middle like all other sewing feet.
1. Raise the sewing foot and needle to its
highest position to switch the sewing
foot.
2. Place the zip on the fabric and place
the workpiece in position under the
foot.
3. To sew the right-hand side of the zip,
attach the zip sewing foot so that the
needle sews on the left-hand side (1).
4. Sew the right-hand side of the zip,
creating the stitches as close as
possible to the teeth. (1)
5. Sew the zip in with a bridge around 0.5
centimetres below the teeth.
6. To sew the left-hand side of the zip,
change the foot position on the sewing
foot holder.
7. Proceed in the same way as for the
right-hand side of the zip (2).
8. Before the foot reaches the slider on
the zip band, lift the foot up and open
the zip, keeping the needle in the
material. (3)
