ZIPPER APPLICATION - CORDING
Home-sewn zippers can look as nice as those
on expensive ready-mades. We recommend
you follow directions, given on zipper
package. There are two basic types: conven-
tional, and invisible. Your Zipper Foot will
assist you v_ith any of these installations.
Use these simple settings:
For conventional zippers... Your zipper foot
is adjustable for use on right or left side of
needle. Adjust foot so needle clears side
notch on foot. Then proceed according to
zipper manufacturer's instructions.
REGULAR
ZIPPER
Invisible zippers are applied to an open seam,
to seam allowances only; there is no stitch-
ing visible .on outside of garment. Adjust
z!pper foot so needle is sewing through
center hole of foot and one groove of foot is
riding on teeth of zipper. After zipper
insertion, finish by shifting foot to side
position and sewing through side notch.
INVISIBLE
ZIPPER
Your zipper foot also makes it easy to add
"cording" to garments as well as slip covers,
toss pillows, bedspreads, decorative pieces.
Cut fabric on bias and wrap around cord.
Pin fabric in place so seam edges are even.
With zipper foot to left of needle, stitch close
to cord.
