Sew Zippers
Centered Zipper
The Zipper Foot can be attached on either the right
or the left of the needle, making it easy to sew both
sides of the zipper.
To sew the right side of the zipper, attach the foot in
the left presser foot position.
To sew the left side of zipper, attach the foot in the
right presser foot position.
1. Place the fabric pieces right sides together and
pin. Mark the zipper length on your fabric.
2. Baste the zipper seam using the specied seam
allowance (use straight stitch with stitch length
4mm, thread tension 2). Baste to the end of zip-
per marking (C).
3. Set up the machine for straight stitch, backstitch
a few stitches and sew the rest of the seam using
the specied seam allowance (C).
4. Press the seam allowances open. Place the right
side of the zipper to the wrong side of the seam,
tape in place (D).
5. Flip your project, making sure that the right side
is facing up. Snap on the Zipper Foot, to the left
side of the needle (A).
6. Sew along the right side of the zipper to the end
of your zipper, remember to backstitch in the
beginning (E). Stop with the needle down in the
fabric, lift the presser foot and turn your project
to sew across the bottom of the zipper.
7. Attach the Zipper Foot to the right side of the
needle (B). Sew the remaining zipper side as you
did with the rst side (F).
8. Flip your project to remove the tape on the back
side.
9. Flip your project to the right side again and re-
move the basting stitches.
