Select and Attach the Zipper Foot:
Make sure your sewing machine is turned off.

Remove the regular presser foot from your sewing machine.

Attach the zipper foot to your sewing machine. It may snap into place or require you to use a screwdriver to secure it, depending on your machine's design. Refer to your sewing machine manual for specific instructions.

Prepare the Fabric and Zipper:
Lay your fabric pieces with the right sides up, aligning the zipper against the fabric. Make sure zipper is wrong side up. Pin or use fabric clips to hold the zipper in place.

Adjust the Needle Position:
Move the sewing machine's needle position to the side that allows you to get closer to the zipper teeth while still keeping the foot on the fabric.

Start Sewing:
Lower the zipper foot onto the fabric, ensuring it's aligned with the zipper teeth.

Begin sewing slowly, guiding the fabric along the zipper teeth, keeping the zipper foot as close to the teeth as possible without sewing through them. Backstitch at the beginning and end to secure the stitches.

Switch Sides:
When you reach the zipper pull, stop with the needle down in the fabric.

Lift the presser foot and slide the zipper pull past the presser foot to the unsewn section of the fabric.

Continue Sewing:
Lower the presser foot again and continue sewing to complete the seam.

Finish the Zipper Seam:
Once you've sewn both sides of the zipper, close the zipper.
Fold the fabric back so the right sides are facing out and press the seam for a neat finish.

Topstitching:
If desired, you can topstitch along the zipper tape to secure the fabric edges. Switch back to your regular presser foot for this step.

First one is the all-purpose foot, also known as the standard foot, is versatile and suitable for a wide range of fabrics. Here’s just an example of a couple fabrics you may use with this sewing foot.

Cotton: This foot is great for sewing cotton fabrics, which are commonly used for various sewing projects like clothing, quilts, and household items.

Linen: Linen is a natural fabric that can be sewn effectively with the all-purpose foot. It's often used for clothing and home decor.

Blends: Fabrics that are a combination of natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton-polyester blends, can be easily sewn with the all-purpose foot.

Wool: This foot is suitable for medium-weight wool fabrics, which are often used for making warm clothing.

Denim: While denim can be a bit thicker, an all-purpose foot can handle it, especially if it's not overly heavy. Consider using a denim or heavy-duty needle for thicker denim.

Knit Fabrics: The all-purpose foot can work with lightweight and medium-weight knit fabrics, but be sure to use the appropriate stitch and needle for knits.

Satin: Lightweight satin fabrics, commonly used for formalwear, can be sewn with the all-purpose foot.

Polyester: Many clothing items are made from polyester fabric, and the all-purpose foot can handle it effectively.

Silk: Lightweight silk fabrics are suitable for this foot, although you may want to use a fine needle and take care not to snag the delicate fibers.

Rayon: Rayon fabrics, which can be used for dresses and blouses, can be sewn using the all-purpose foot.
