Zipper Sewing (Continued)

2Raise and release foot, and re-attach it on left-hand side of pin.

Take the upper fabric layer and lay it flat over the zipper. Starting just below zipper bottom stop, sew across fabric to about 3/8˝ to 1/2˝ distance from the basting stitch line. Turn fabric 90° and sew a seam the entire length of zipper tape. Before reaching pull-tab, stop the machine with needle in fabric and raise the foot. Use seam ripper to open a few inches of basting stitch, then unzip a few inches to clear a path for the stitch. At end of seam, sew in reverse a few stitches to lock.

Once both sides of zipper are sewn, use seam ripper to open the basting stitch.
