ZIPPERS THAT ARE
SMOOTH-WORKING,
GOOD LOOKING
Home-sewn zippers can look as nice as those on ex-
pensive ready-mades. We recommend you follow di-
rections given on zipper package. There are two basic
types: conventional, and invisible. Your Zipper Foot
will assist you with 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.
Invisible zippers are applied to an open
seam, to seam allowances only; there is no
stitching visible on outside of garment. Ad-
just zipper foot so needle is sewrng through
center hole of foot and one groove of foot is
riding on teeth of zipper, After zipper inser-
tion, finish by shifting foot to side position
and sewing through side notch.
REGULAR
ZIPPER
CORDING IS SIMPLE WITH SAME "ZIPPER" SETTINGS
Your zipper foot also makes it easy to add
"cording" to garments as well as slip cov-
ers, 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.
