Sewing machine note applicable to all
Dale’s
classes:
The machine must be able to adjust the needle 1/16” to
the left of the edge of the foot. A machine that has a 9mm
wide zigzag stitch width usually adjusts correctly with its
regular zipper foot. For machines such as a Jem Gold, a generic short shank
adjustable zipper foot works well. Other machines, such as the Bernina, an
adapter is available that will make the generic short shank adjustable zipper
foot fit. PLEASE CHECK YOUR MACHINE BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS.
