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). Center zipper 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.
