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.

the foot on the other side of the zipper.

the zipper foot.
