Sewing Zippers
The zipper foot E can be snapped on so
that it is located either to the right or to
the left of the needle, making 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 bottom
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.
