Utility stitches and practical sewing Sewing in zippers There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts we recommend inserting a centered zipper. For men·s or ladies· pants (trousers), a lapped zipper works best. Different types of zippers are available in retail stores: invisible, metal, plastic, jeans and outerwear to name a few. We recommend metal zippers for heavier fabrics such as jeans. For all other materials a plastic zipper will work well and create a softer Ànish to your completed garment. For all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot can be engaged in the foot holder to the left or right, depending on the method of insertion. If the foot is attached on the left, you can also use the needle position "left" (c.f. page 27). Inserting centered zippers (concealed on both sides) • Attach the zipper foot to the right side. • Baste or pin the zipper in place and position it under the presser foot so that the teeth run along the side of the presser foot. • Sew in half of the zipper, leaving the needle in the material. Raise the presser foot and close the zipper. • You can now sew the rest of the seam to the end of the zipper and stitch the cross-wise seam. • Sew the second half of the zipper parallel, the same distance from the center seam as the Àrst half. • Stop shortly before the end of the seam and leave the needle in the material. Raise the presser foot and open the zipper. • You will now be able to complete the seam. 44
