Sewing Zippers - Husqvarna Viking Tribute 140C User Manual

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.
Center Zipper
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 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 (see g. 1).
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 (see g. 2).
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 (see g. 3).
7. Remove the basting stitches.
Note: To adjust the position of the stitching line, adjust the needle
position with the stitch width buttons.
