Инструкция за работа

The Janome Zipper Foot E is versatile for various sewing tasks requiring close-edge stitching.

Sewing Zippers

1. Подгответе плата: Press the seam allowance where the zipper will be inserted.
2. Position Zipper: Place the zipper face down on the seam allowance, aligning the zipper tape with the seam line. Pin or baste in place.
3. Adjust Needle Position: The Zipper Foot E allows you to adjust the needle position to the left or right, depending on which side of the zipper you are sewing. This enables the needle to stitch very close to the zipper teeth without hitting them.
4. Стич: Begin sewing slowly, guiding the fabric and zipper tape. When approaching the zipper pull, lower the needle into the fabric, raise the presser foot, and slide the zipper pull past the foot. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing.
5. Повторете за другата страна: For the other side of the zipper, adjust the needle position to the opposite side of the foot to maintain close stitching.

Sewing Cording and Piping

This foot is also ideal for attaching cording or piping to fabric edges.

1. Prepare Piping: If making your own piping, enclose the cord within a fabric strip and stitch close to the cord using the Zipper Foot E.
2. Attach Piping: Place the piping along the seam line of your project fabric, raw edges aligned. Position the Zipper Foot E so the needle stitches just beside the cord, securing the piping to the fabric.
3. Add Second Fabric Layer: Place the second fabric piece right sides together over the piping and first fabric layer. Stitch again, using the previous stitch line as a guide, ensuring the needle is as close to the cord as possible for a snug fit.
