INSERTING ZIPPERS AND
PIPING
Use zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper or close
to the cord.
INSERTING ZIPPERS
To sew down the right side, attach left side of zipper foot to
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 foot to foot
holder.
PIPING
To pipe soft furnishings, cover cord with a bias strip of fabric
and pin or tack it to the main piece of fabric. Attach right side
of zipper foot to foot holder so that needle passes through the
opening on the right side of the foot.
Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the needle position to
sew closer to the piping may be
accomplished with the Stitch Width
Control.
HAND-LOOK QUILTING STITCH
This stitch is designed to look like hand sewing for
topstitching and quilting.
1. Thread bobbin with desired top stitching color. When
sewing the machine will pull this thread to the top.
2. Thread machine with invisible or lightweight thread the
color that matches your fabric. This thread should not
show.
3. Increase thread tension a little bit at a time until you
achieve the desired appearance.
4. Start to sew.
NOTE: For a dramatic appearance, experiment with different
tension and stitch length combinations.
