Step 1

Clip the zipper foot onto the shank of your machine. Thread the machine and bobbin normally.

Step 2 

Select the straight stitch with the needle placed to the left.

Tip: if your machine can adjust the needle position, you can use any of the straight stitch options. Just adjust the position of the needle to be on the left or the right of the foot. Slowly turn the flywheel by hand to test that the needle will not hit the foot when sewing.
