Zip
Choose the straight stitch by turning stitch selector dial to either A, B or C.
The thread tension should be from 1-4. Make sure the zip foot is properly
attached (page 21).
1. Move the needle upwards by turning the hand wheel towards you. Install
the zip foot so that the needle can only sew to the left of the foot.
2. Pin or tack the zip to the fabric. Place the fabric under the zip foot. Pull
the top thread and bobbin thread towards the back of the machine
before you lower the zip foot.
3. When you sew the right-hand side of the zip onto the fabric, let the teeth
of the zip run alongside the edge of the zip foot. Before you get to the
top of the zip, lift the zip foot and unzip the zip, keeping the needle in the
fabric. Lower the zip foot and sew the rest of the right-hand side. Secure
the seam by pressing the reverse button and sewing a few stitches
backwards, and then releasing the button and sewing a few stitches
forwards.
4. Now change the position of the zip foot so that the needle can only sew
on the right-hand side. Sew the left-hand side of the zip to the fabric in
the same way as in point 3.
TIP! Try sewing on a scrap of fabric rst to adjust any settings if necessary
before using the “proper” fabric.
