Inserting Zippers And Piping
Use the zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper
or to sew close to a cord.
Inserting Zippers
To sew down to the right side of the zipper, attach the left
side of the zipper foot to the presser foot holder so that
the needle passes through the opening on the left side of
the foot.
To sew down the left side, attach right side of the zipper
foot to the presser foot holder.
Piping
Create a piping by covering a ller cord with a bias strip of
fabric. Attach the right side of the zipper foot to the foot
holder so that the needle passes through the right side of
the zipper foot.
Baste the seam allowances together, enclosing the ller
cord, forming a seam tape for the piping.
Helpful Hint: Slight adjustment of the needle position to sew
closer to the piping may be accomplished with the Stitch Width
Control.

This stitch is designed to look hand made for topstitching
and quilting.
1. The bobbin thread will be visible on top of the fabric,
make sure to use bobbin thread in desired color.
2. Use invisible thread as top thread, or use a thread color
that matches the fabric, so it doesn't show.

achieve the desired appearance.
4. Set the stitich length at 4 (maximum).
5. Start to sew.
