When using zipper foot "I", be sure to
select the straight stitch (center needle

wheel toward you to check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
a different stitch is selected or the needle
hits the presser foot, the needle may
bend or break.
Sew the zipper to the piece of fabric with the

When you are about 5 cm (2 inch) from the
