Utility stitches and practical sewing Sewing on zippers There are various methods of sewing on zippers. For skirts, we recommend the fully concealed zipper, for men's and ladies' trousers the semi concealed zipper. Various zippers are available. We recommend using a metal zipper for strong fabrics such as denim. For all other materials we recommend a plastic zipper. It is important for all types of zippers to sew very close to the edge of the teeth of the zipper. This is why it is possible to insert the zipper foot either on the right or the left of the presser foot holder. Additionally, you can set the needle so that it enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by using one of the 15 available needle positions. If the foot is engaged to the right, the needle must only be moved to the right. If the foot is engaged left, the needle must only be moved to the left. stitch 1540 G 0 3 1530 E 0 3 1520 E 0 3 3-5 4 3-5 4 3-5 4 Left presser foot position Right presser foot position 39

Sewing on zippers
There are various methods of sewing on
zippers. For skirts, we recommend the fully
concealed zipper, for men’s and ladies’
trousers the semi concealed zipper. Various
zippers are available. We recommend using a
metal zipper for strong fabrics such as denim.
For all other materials we recommend a plastic
zipper.
It is important for all types of zippers to sew
very close to the edge of the teeth of the
zipper. This is why it is possible to insert the
zipper foot either on the right or the left of the
presser foot holder.
Additionally, you can set the needle so that it
enters close to the edge of the zipper teeth by
using one of the 15 available needle positions.
If the foot is engaged to the right, the needle
must only be moved to the right. If the foot is
engaged left, the needle must only be moved
to the left.
