    Thank you so much! I've been sewing for years but never used a zipper foot. My mom taught me to sew and she always just used the regular foot. Tonight I decided to try the zipper foot and you talked (and showed) me right through it. It came out perfect! The zipper foot is so much better than the regular foot. And easier, too. Thanks again for everything you all do. It's extremely helpful. :D

    when you spend 5 hours sewing and resewing a zipper, just to find that you`ve been using the wrong foot ...

  • @elegantdestruction
    @elegantdestruction 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Okay, I'm going to have to be a little bit critical. Ideally on any corded trim coming out of a seam would be sewn to the fabric first and then topstitched (if needed). The same goes for any zipper.

    This video does not explain that it is mandatory to select stich 3 and move the needle to 3.5. I broke my needle and damaged my zipper foot. Be careful!

    • @terrielemaire5884
      @terrielemaire5884 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      That's because it isn't mandatory. Every machine is different and each project is different. My machine has center or offset needle positions that can be changed a millimeter at a time, so 3 means nothing to me as a needle position. Also, 3.5 stitch length is ideal for medium weight fabric like quilting cotton, but too short for thicker fabrics like denim or velvet. It's up to each sewist to have an understanding of their machine and to learn how stitch length changes depending on the material they're using.

    • @sherryblack8403
      @sherryblack8403 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      i was watching this video to see witch stitch number to use for the zipper foot so my needle won't get damaged

    • @terrielemaire5884
      @terrielemaire5884 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@sherryblack8403 it's not possible for a presenter to give you the exact number for your machine unless you have the exact same make and model, and even then there are going to be differences based on manufacturing, assembly and even your needle size. The best way to figure out the number you need to use on your machine is to not focus on the number and simply use your hand wheel to slowly lower the needle position and move the needle over as you go until you can pass the widest part of the needle (sometimes the eye, sometimes the shaft) through the fabric without it touching the foot. If there is even a small deflection the needle will snap at high speeds.
      You should do this step every time you change to the zipper foot and every time you change your needle. I've been sewing for 20 years and I do this every time I switch feet, no matter what. When I don't is when things break.

    • @SewingPartsOnline
      @SewingPartsOnline  ปีที่แล้ว

      You will want to use a straight stitch (make sure your needle drops into the hole of the presser foot). Depending on what your sewing, your stitch length will vary; however, for general sewing, do a 2.4 or 2.5. I hope this helps.

    • @SewingPartsOnline
      @SewingPartsOnline  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I usually just turn my handwheel so the bobbin catches the needle thread, then lift the foot, and the seam ripper to pull both threads out from under the foot and to the back of the machine. I hope that makes sense =)

    • @SewingPartsOnline
      @SewingPartsOnline  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There could be several reasons why you are breaking your upper thread. 1. The upper thread may not be between the tension discs. 2. The upper tension is set too tight. 3. Your spool of thread is not properly installed on the machine. I suggest checking these things and rethreading the machine. If that does not work, reach out to our customer service team. If you email them some pictures of the settings you are currently using and explain what is happening, they should be able to assist you. You can email them at info@sewingpartsonline.com. Lastly, your instruction manual should have some troubleshooting suggestions at the back of the manual. I hope this information helps.
