2Turn off the machine. Attach the zipper foot “I”.

CAUTION

●Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch 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.

3Turn on the machine.

4With the right side of the fabric facing up, continue sewing with the zipper on the right side of the presser foot.

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

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