3 Sewing in zippers prog fl( (H -- Key: Need/e down There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks. They can be inserted concealed or open, as requi red. The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2). Fufly concea'ed zippers Baste the zipper in first. Engage the zipper foot at its right side (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under the foot so that its teeth run along the right edge of the foot (Fig 3). When you change the needle position respectively (see page 78), the zipper can be stitched in at a narrow margin. Sew about half the length of the zipper at the desired width. Leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the foot, and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Lower the foot, conti nue to sew until the end of the zipper, then sew the cross seam. Sew on the other side of the zipper parallel and at the same seam margin. Shortly before the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise the foot, and open the zipper (Fig. 5). Lower the foot again, and sew the rest of the seam. Our sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom mend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel seams. If the sewing foot is engaged with its right side, the needle position must only be changed to the right. If the sewing foot is engaged with its left side, the needle position must only be changed to the left. 5 107
