What It's Used For:

This adjustable zipper foot makes it easy to place stitching close to a raised edge, making it ideal for installing zippers, piping, and cording. The adjustable design allows you to position the foot on either side of the needle for maximum versatility, while the narrow toe provides better visibility of your stitching area.

Primary Applications:

• Zipper installation - Stitch close to zipper teeth on either side
• Piping - Sew close to raised piping edges without catching the cord
• Cording - Apply decorative cording with precise placement
• Cored seams - Stitch close to raised edges in seams
• Heavy fabrics - Hinged design rides over thick layers
• Cross seams - Easily navigate over intersecting seams
• Pin sewing - Hinge allows foot to ride over pins without stopping

How It Works:

Attachment: This is a slant shank presser foot that attaches directly to the presser bar using a screw, replacing the entire presser foot and shank assembly. It's designed specifically for Singer machines with a slanted needle bar.

Adjusting Position:

1. Loosen the adjusting screw or dial on the foot
2. Slide the foot to the desired side (right or left) of the needle
3. Position so the edge runs against the zipper teeth or cording
4. Re-tighten the screw to lock in place
5. Manually turn the hand wheel to ensure needle clears the foot
6. Sew along the edge with the narrow toe keeping stitching straight

For the opposite side: Reposition fabric, loosen the screw, slide the foot to the other side of the needle, and re-tighten.

Key Advantages:

• Adjustable positioning - Switch between right and left side of needle for maximum flexibility
• Better visibility - Narrow toe design provides clear view of stitching area
• Hinged design - Glides smoothly over pins, heavy layers, and cross seams without catching
• Close stitching - Places stitches precisely next to raised edges
• Versatile applications - Works for zippers, piping, cording, and cored seams
• Time-saving - No need to remove pins while sewing
• Professional results - Consistent, precise stitching lines
