* 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 thus
hidden.
Attach the invisible zipper foot to the machine.
Adjust needle center position and straight
stitch. Stitch length depends from the fabric.
Adjust 1,0 - 3,0 mm.
Place open zipper face - down on right side of
fabric as shown picture.
Place the fabric edge at the 5/8 inch marking
line on the needle plate surface.
Place the zipper 1/4 inch below raw edge of
garment.
With right-hand groove of foot over coil, stitch
zipper until the foot hits the slider. Remove the
garment from the machine.
To attach the other half of the zipper, place the
fabric edge on the 5/8 inch marking line on the
needle plate as shown in picture.
With the left-hand groove of foot over coil,
stitch zipper until the foot hits the slider.
Close zipper. Fold the fabric that the zipper is
on ride - hand side out of the way as shown in
picture.
Use a pin for fixing the fabric. Change to
regular sewing foot and saw as close as
possible with straight stitch against the zipper.
At last carry out tie off with some forward
and reverse stitches.
