CAUTION

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

eTo sew the opposite side of the zipper, release the foot by pressing the button located at the back of the presser foot, fit the zipper foot on the other side of the zipper and continue sewing using the other side notch.

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.
