Set your iron to a low to medium heat setting.This step will allow you to stitch much closer to the zipper teeth and help you achieve a more invisible look. How to prepare your fabric and zipper for sewing: How to prepare the invisible zipper You can very slightly adjust the stitch width / needle position to get closer to the zipper teeth, but always check that your needle isn’t hitting the foot itself by turning the handwheel towards yourself. When using an invisible zipper foot, keep your needle in the center position to make sure the needle goes through the hole in the middle of the foot.Try 2 mm for lightweight fabrics and 3 or 3.5 mm for heavyweight fabrics. Depending on the weight of your fabric you may want to adjust your stitch length. Set your sewing machine to a straight stitch with a length of 2.5 mm.Alternatively, you can push the foot up to snap it into place.Next, position the invisible zipper foot under the ankle and lower the ankle to the foot, until it snaps into place. On my machine (a Pfaff Ambition 630), this is done by simply pushing the presser foot down, but on some machines, you may need to pull the presser foot release lever to drop the existing foot or even use a screwdriver to release the foot from the ankle.
