The
zip is basted in by short stitches so that
the teeth are entirely covered by
the mate-
rial Open the zip before
you sew it in.
Sew down each side from top to bottom, once with the needle position right and once
with the needle position left.
Hint: The easiest way to insert
a zip
Sew seam first with a very
long straight stitch or basting
stitch, then press open.
(Damp if necessary).
Finish the edges then unpick
the seam. (When stitches are very
long they
are easy to remove.)
When inserted like this both
sides remain even and are not distorted.
