Sewing in zippers prog 0001 [j 3-5 4 Stitch length: 2.5-3.0 mm Key: needle down There are different kinds of zippers: joined or split zippers and special ones for trousers or slacks. They can be inserted concealed or visible, as required. The zipper foot can be engaged on the left or on the right, depending on the work (Figs. 1 and 2). Fully concealed zippers Baste the zipper in first. Snap the zipper foot in at the right (Fig. 1). Place the open zipper under the toot so that the zipper teeth move along the righthand edge of the foot (Fig. 3). By changing the needle position (see page 61) the zipper can be stitched in at a narrow depth. Sew about half the seam at the required depth, leave the needle down in the material, raise the zipper foot and close the zipper (Fig. 4). Then lower the foot again, continue stitching until you reach the end of the ripper and sew across this end. Sew along the other side of the zipper parallel to the edge and at the same distance as the first seam. Shortly before you reach the end of the seam, leave the needle down in the material, raise he sewing foot, open the zipper (Fig, 5), lower the 'oot again and sew to the end of the seam. Dur sewing tip: If you lack practice, we recom iiend using the quilting gauge to obtain parallel seams. the sewing foot shoe is engaged at the right, the eedle position must only be changed to the right. the shoe is engaged at the left, the needle posi ion must only be changed to the left. 5
