Attaching the Zipper:
• Using Foot #1 and stitch #1, sew the seam from the bottom
to where the zipper stop will be.
• Lengthen the stitch to the maximum and continue to within
½" from the top of the seam.
• Change back to stitch #1; sew the rest of the way to secure.
• Press the seam open and place the right side of the zipper
against the seam allowance, so the zipper teeth are centered
over the seam.
• Pin or baste (using a temporary spray adhesive) each side of
the zipper to the seam allowance only.
• Change to Zipper Foot #4; adjust the needle position to the
right and to the left as needed to get close to the zipper teeth.
• Sew through the zipper tape and seam allowance only, from
the bottom to the top on each side.
• Pin or baste through all layers.
Topstitching the Zipper:
• Change to Zipper Foot with Guide #14.
Left Side:
• Adjust the seam guide on the foot so it is one groove to the
right of center and change the needle position to far left.
• Sewing from the right side of the fabric and starting at the
bottom, sink the needle into the seam.
• Sew out from the zipper stop about
sure the seam guide on the foot is lying in the ditch of the
seam.
• Sew up the left side of the zipper.
Right Side:
• Adjust seam guide on the foot so that it is one groove to the
left of center and change the needle position to far right.
• Repeat the previous steps, starting at the seam and sewing
to the right.
• Press and trim the sample. Mount it, attaching it only at the
top. You can then lift the sample and use it as a reference.
