Invisible Zipper Insertion - Bernette Chicago 7 Instruction Manual

Basic Sewing Procedures

Invisible zipper insertion

* The invisible zipper foot accessory is optional. It is not included with this machine.
This foot is used to insert invisible zippers so that they are
covered by the seam, and therefore hidden.
• Attach the invisible zipper foot to the machine.
• Adjust needle center position and select the straight
stitch.
– The stitch length depends on the fabric.
• Vary from 1,0 to 3,0mm.
• Place the open zipper face - down on right side of
fabric as shown in the picture.
• Align the fabric edge with the 5/8 inch marking line on
the stitch plate.
• Place the zipper 6mm (1/4 inch) below raw edge of
garment.
• With right-hand groove of the foot over the zipper coils,
sew along the zipper until the foot hits the zipper pull.
• Remove the garment from the machine.
To attach the other half of the zipper, align the fabric edge with
the 5/8 inch marking line on the stitch plate as shown in the
picture.
With the left-hand groove of the foot over the zipper coils, sew
along the zipper until the foot hits the zipper pull.
• Close zipper.
• Fold the fabric that the zipper is on the right hand side
out of the way as shown in the picture.
• Use a pin to fix the fabric.
• Change to the regular sewing foot and sew along the
zipper as closely as possible using straight stitch.
