How the Adjustable Hinged Design Works:
The adjustable feature allows you to position the foot on either the left or right side of the needle, enabling you to stitch close to raised edges like zipper teeth, piping, or cording from either direction without changing feet. The hinged mechanism is the key to this foot’s versatility—as you encounter pins, thick layers of fabric, or intersecting seams, the hinge allows the foot to lift and glide smoothly over obstacles, then settle back down for continued stitching. This eliminates the need to stop and remove pins or struggle with bulky areas.
Using the Foot:
- Attach Foot: Install adjustable hinged zipper foot on your slant needle machine
- Position Foot: Adjust foot to left or right side of needle depending on which side of zipper or raised edge you’re stitching
- Position Fabric: Place fabric under foot with zipper teeth, piping, or raised edge against foot’s edge
- Sew: Stitch close to raised edge. Hinged design glides smoothly over pins and thick seams
- Switch Sides: Reposition foot to opposite side of needle to complete other side of zipper or trim
Benefits:
- Adjustable Versatility: Positions on either side of needle—one foot for both sides of zipper
- Hinged Convenience: Glides over pins, thick layers, and seam intersections without stopping
- Precision Stitching: Stitch very close to raised edges like zipper teeth and piping
