Sewing zippers
The Zipper Foot 4 can be attached on either the right or
the left of the needle, making it easy to sew both sides of
the zipper.
To sew the left side of the zipper, attach the foot in the
right presser foot position (A).
To sew the right side of zipper, attach the foot in the left
presser foot position (B).

1. Sew the two fabrics right sides together along the ⅝″
(15mm) guide line (on the needle plate), stopping at
the notch for the zipper placement.
2. Baste the remaining seam where the zipper will be
inserted (use straight stitch with stitch length 4mm,
thread tension 2). Press the seam open. Place the
zipper right side down on top of the open seam
allowance, aligning the bottom zipper stop with the
notch in the fabric. Pin the zipper in place from the
right side of the fabric (C).
3. Set your machine for straight stitch 01 (see Select a
stitch). Attach Zipper Foot 4 so the needle is on the
left side of the foot. Place fabric under the foot right
side up with the zipper foot on the right side of the
zipper.
4. Begin stitching across the bottom, turn the fabric and
stitch the right side of the zipper to the top (see D).
5. To avoid fabric shifting, sew the left side of the
zipper in the same direction. Attach the Zipper Foot
4 so the needle is on the right side of the foot.
6. Begin stitching across the bottom, turn the fabric and
stitch the left side of the zipper sewing from the
bottom to the top (see E).
7. Remove the basting stitches.
