Foot  15

Zippper Foot

112797-001 

Standard PQ foot used for attaching zippers and 
piping

Machine Set-Up:

Feed dogs up using one of the three settings based on 
fabric and whether the pin feed is used (such as 
attaching zippers to stretch fabric). Other settings are 
based on the needs of the project. 
 

Materials Needed for Sample: 

Corded piping, linen and cotton fabric, transfer web 

General Sewing Directions:

 Attach the foot and use screw at back to position the movable foot relative to the needle. Depending on 
the type of zipper you are installing, one of several methods may be used. Loosen the clamp screw at the 
back and slide the presser foot to either side so the needle fits in the opening on the foot without hitting 
the metal side. Turn the balance wheel slowly toward you to check that the needle does not hit the presser 
foot. Secure the clamp screw.
