INSERTING ZIPPERS AND PIPING

Use the zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper or to sew close to a cord.

INSERTING ZIPPERS

To sew down the right side, attach left side of zipper foot to presser foot holder so that the needle passes through the opening on the left side of the foot.

To sew down the left side, attach right side of foot to foot holder.

PIPING

Create a piping by covering a filler cord with a bias strip of fabric. Attach the right side of the zipper foot to the foot holder so that the needle passes through the right side of the zipper foot.

Baste the seam allowances together, enclosing the filler cord, forming seam tape for the piping.

Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the needle position to sew closer to the piping may be accomplished with the Stitch Width Control.
