In this session, I demonstrated how to attach an invisible zipper to the dress. I showed the proper technique for aligning the zipper with the dress seams and pinning it in place before sewing.
Lesson Steps:
- Change the machine foot to the invisible zipper foot
- Open the dress and match the notches to the waistline
- Pin the zipper in place, aligning it with the seams
- Sew the zipper, leaving a small gap at the bottom
- Press the zipper seam allowance away from the zipper teeth
- Pin the remaining dress seam below the zipper
- Sew the remaining seam, stopping before overlapping the zipper seam
- Transfer the dress to a dressform and prepare for hand-sewing the lining
