INSERTING ZIPPERS AND PIPING
Use the zipper foot to sew to the right or left of the zipper or to
sew close to a cord.
INSERTING ZIPPERS
To sew down the right side, attach left side of zipper foot to
presser foot holder so that the needle passes through the
opening on the left side of the foot.
To sew down the left side, attach right side of foot to foot
holder.
PIPING
Create a piping by covering a filler cord with a bias strip of fabric.
Attach the right side of the zipper foot to the foot holder so that
the needle passes through the right side of the zipper foot.
Baste the seam allowances together, enclosing the filler cord,
forming seam tape for the piping.
Helpful Hint: Slight adjusting of the needle position to
sew closer to the piping may be accomplished with
the Stitch Width Control.
HAND-LOOK QUILT STITCH
This stitch is designed to look like hand sewing for topstitching
and quilting.
1. Thread bobbin with desired top stitching color.
2. Thread the needle with either invisible thread or with thread
that is a color which blends in with the fabric color, so it
doesn't show.
3. Increase thread tension toward 6 or higher until you
achieve the desired appearance.
4. Set the stitich length at 4 (maximum).
5. Start to sew.
