zipper or cording. (Fig. 41)
Attach zipper foot and set dials for
straight stitching. To adjust zipper

side so that needle passes through
notched side of foot. Lower needle
slowly to be sure it will not hit zipper
foot, and tighten thumb screw. Zipper

for guiding the fabric to keep the
stitching parallel to edge of the fabric.

are wider than markings on needle
plate, and for making wide hems.
Also use as a guide for blindstitching.
Fasten cloth guide to machine by
inserting thumb screw into hole in
bed of machine. Adjust cloth guide
to desired distance from needle and
tighten screw.

rows of stitching. Lower presser foot
