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.
6To sew the opposite side of the zipper, release the foot by raising the lever located at the back of the presser foot, position the zipper foot on the other side of the zipper and continue sewing using the notch on the other side.
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.
