Sewing in zippers Prog. 1 Inserting centered zippers (concealed on both sides) 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 denim. For all other materials a plastic zipper will work well and create a softer finish 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. Additionally, you can set the needle so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 1 3 needle positions available. 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 - 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 Bring the needle into the desired, right-hand position. - 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. 80

zipper.
You

sew
the
rest
of
the

For
all
types

it

The
