Sewing techniques These techniques may require some special presser feet and accessories. Sewing in zippers There are different ways to sew in zippers. Follow the directions included with your pattern for best results. For all types of zippers it is important to sew close to the teeth of the zipper. The zipper foot 4 can be snapped to the presser foot bar on the left or right, depending on how you will insert your zipper. Then set the stitch position so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 37 needle positions available for the straight stitch. If the presser foot is attached on the right side, the needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is attached on the left, the needle must only be moved to the left. Sewing hems in heavy fabric When sewing over seams in extra heavy fabric or a blue jeans hem, the presser foot can tip as the machine climbs over the seam. Use the multi purpose tool to balance the height of the presser foot as you sew. One side of the tool is thicker than the other. Use the side that suits the thickness of the seam best. Tip! Increasing the stitch length may improve the sewing result when sewing hems in heavy fabric. 4:14 Sewing mode
