2Set the pattern selection dial to the Straight Stitch. Set the stitch length between 2 (1/16 inch) and 3 (1/8 inch). Set the stitch width at 2.5 (3/32 inch) to move the needle into the correct position.

3To attach the zipper foot, lower the presser foot lever either on the left or right pin of the zipper foot.

4Fold the edge of the material 2 cm (3/4 inch) and place the zipper under the folded section. Lower the needle into the notch located either on the left or right side of the zipper foot.

CAUTION

●Turn the handwheel by hand to make sure the needle does not hit the zipper foot before you start sewing. Choosing a different stitch will cause the needle to hit the presser foot and break, and you may be injured.

5Sew from the bottom of the zipper toward the top on both sides. The needle should be positioned on the zipper side of the foot for best results.

CAUTION

●Make sure the needle does not hit the zipper during sewing. If the needle hits the zipper, the needle may break and you may be injured.
