General Sewing Directions:

The following instructions are packaged with Coats

stitching show. Pin the right side of the zipper to the right side of the fabric, coil on the 5/8” seamline and 
top of zipper ¾” below the cut edge of fabric. With right grove of foot over coil, stitch until foot touches 
slider; backtack. Pin the right side of the free zipper to the right side of the remaining garment section, 
coil on 5/8” seamline and top stop of zipper ¾” below cut edge of fabric. With the left groove of foot over 
coil, stitch until foot touches the slider; backtack. To stitch remainder of seam, close zipper. Attach zipper 
foot. Pull zipper ends out of the way and lower needle by hand, slightly above and 1/8” to the left of the 
last stitch. Lower foot and stitch seam for 2”. Pull threads through to one side and tie. Change to regular 
presser foot and finish seam. Tack free end at bottom of 
each zipper tape to seam allowance only.
