You can use the zipper foot to sew different types of zippers, and can easily position it to the right or left side of the needle.

When sewing the right side of the zipper, attach the shank to the left pin of the zipper foot. When sewing the left side of the zipper, attach the shank to the right pin of the zipper foot.

1Set 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).

2Lower the presser foot lever and fix either the left or right pin of the zipper foot onto the shank.

3Fold 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.

4Sew 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.

To sew the opposite side of the zipper, first

button located at the back of the foot, then fit

 

the foot on the other side of the zipper.

 

Continue sewing using the pin on that side of

the zipper foot.

 

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.
