Zipper
Sewing
(continued)
[] Sew through all Jayers the entire length of the zipper
tape, removing the pins as you go. Stop the machine
about 2" (5cm) before the zipper foot reaches the pull
tab. Lower the needle slightly into the fabric.
Raise the
zipper foot and unzip a few inches to clear a path for the
stitches. Lower the foot and stitch the remainder of the
seam.

Sew across just below the zipper bottom stop, up to the
right side of the zipper teeth. Turn fabric 90 ° and stitch
through the garment and zipper tape, guiding the edge
of the foot along the zipper teeth.
[] Before reaching pull-tab, stop the machine
with needle in fabric and raise the foot. Use seam
ripper to open a few inches of basting stitches, then
unzip a few inches to clear a path for the stitch.

[] Lower the foot and stitch the remainder of the seam,
making sure the fold is even. At the end of the seam,
sew in reverse a few stitches to lock. Once both sides
of zipper are sewn, use seam ripper to open the
