The zipper foot E can be snapped on so that it is located either to the right or to the left of the needle, ma- king it easy to sew both sides of the zipper. To sew the other side of the zipper, reposition the zipper foot. Lapped zipper 1. Sew the seam together to the bot-
tom of the zipper placket. Baste the rest of the seam. Leave about 2 cm open at the top. Press seam open. Set the needle to the
right position.
2. Place presser foot E to the left
of the needle. From the wrong side fold the fabric to one side so both seam allowances are free. Fold and press the left allowance under approximately 0.5 cm from the basted seam.
3. Place the zipper under the folded
seam allowance with the teeth as near to the fold as possible and stitch zipper to fabric close to fold. Begin sewing at the bottom of the zipper. Before reaching the zipper pull, lift the presser foot and slide the zipper pull down past the zipper foot. Lower the foot and sew to the top of the zipper.
4. Snap on the zipper foot so it is to
the right of the needle. Set the
needle to the left position. Turn
the garment to the right side. It is important that the seam on the right side is sewn straight. Before you begin to sew, mark the seam line. Sew the other side of the zipper.
Begin stitching across the bottom and continue upwards. Remove the basting. If you want to sew a ”gentleman’s zipper”, follow the instructions but insert in the other direction.
