Sewing in an Invisible Zipper

TIP

As the fabric feed can be difficult when starting to sew, it is recommended to hold the threads firmly or to pull the fabric slightly to the back for a few stitches or to sew 0.5 - 1 in (1 – 2 cm) reverse first.

For seam-covered zippers, the Invisible zipper foot (optional accessory) is required.

  1. Set the stitch length.
  2. Open zipper all the way.
  3. Pin the right half of the zipper right side on right side on the fabric.
  4. Fit the invisible zipper foot.
  5. Baste the zipper on the garment. To do this, place a thick piece of paper between the zipper and the fabric.
  7. Remove the center basting thread and open the zipper.
  8. Sew the right and left sides of the zipper to the ends of the zipper opening.
