Sewing In Zips; Sewing In A Drawstring; Hems - Medion MD 11836 Bedienungsanleitung

Sewing in zips

Use the zip sewing foot.
Depending on which side of the zip band you are sewing, the se-
wing foot must always be on the fabric.
For this reason, the sewing foot is attached on either the left-hand
or right-hand side, and not in the middle like all other sewing feet.
• Raise the sewing foot and needle to its highest position to switch
the sewing foot.
• Place the zip on the fabric and place the workpiece in position
under the foot.
• To sew the right-hand side of the zip, attach the zip sewing foot
so that the needle sews on the left-hand side (1).
• Sew the right-hand side of the zip, creating the stitches as close
as possible to the teeth. (1)
• Sew the zip in with a bridge around 0.5 centimetres below the
teeth.
• To sew the left-hand side of the zip, change the foot position on
the sewing foot holder.
• Proceed in the same way as for the right-hand side of the zip (2).
• Before the foot reaches the slider on the zip band, lift the foot up
and open the zip, keeping the needle in the material. (3)

Sewing in a drawstring

You can also use the zip sewing foot to sew in drawstrings, as illu-
strated.
• Fold the fabric over once to create a drawstring tunnel and then
sew along the drawstring, making sure the zip sewing foot is be-
hind the drawstring.

Hems

You can use the roll hem/hemming sewing foot to easily hem fine
to medium materials, e.g. blouses, silk scarves and flounces. Hem-
ming using the roll hemmer stops the edges from fraying and crea-
tes a clean, durable edge.
• Raise the sewing foot and needle to its highest position and re-
place the existing foot with the hemming foot.
• Fold the start of the hem around 2 mm in with a double fold.
• Insert this folded hem into the coil of the roll hemming foot.
• Carefully and slowly sew a few stitches, preferably by turning
the hand wheel (10).
• If the start of the hem was pulled into the foot, carefully start se-
wing the hem.
• Always hold the edge of the fabric somewhat over the left-hand
side of the sewing foot, to stop the fabric slipping out of the coil.
• Make sure that the fabric does not slip under the right-hand side
of the sewing foot.
