FAQs

What makes this foot 'invisible'?

The foot's design allows the needle to stitch extremely close to the zipper teeth, and the specialized plastic sleds guide the zipper tape perfectly, hiding the teeth within the seam allowance from the right side of the fabric.

Can I use this on any sewing machine?

This foot is designed for sewing machines with a standard clip-on, low-shank presser foot system. Always check your machine's specifications for compatibility.

How do I attach the plastic adapters?

The plastic foot comes with three different sized adapters. Select the adapter that best matches the width of your invisible zipper tape and slide it securely onto the designated area of the plastic foot.

What types of zippers can I use with this foot?

This foot is specifically designed for invisible zippers, also known as Concealed Zippers. The adapters help accommodate different widths of invisible zipper tape.

How do I clean the foot?

Wipe the foot clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents.

Does this foot come with the machine or is it an accessory?

The Prym Invisible Zipper Foot is an accessory designed to enhance the capabilities of your sewing machine, especially for creating neat invisible zipper insertions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper tape is not feeding smoothly under the foot.

Ensure the correct size plastic adapter is firmly attached to the foot and that it matches the width of your zipper tape. Check that the zipper tape is lying flat and is not folded or twisted.

Stitches are too far from the zipper teeth.

Verify that the needle is positioned correctly relative to the zipper teeth and the foot's guiding channel. You may need to slightly adjust the fabric placement as you sew, allowing the foot's sled to guide the tape.

Foot does not fit the sewing machine.

Confirm that your sewing machine uses a standard clip-on, low-shank presser foot system. This foot is not compatible with high-shank machines or those requiring screw-on feet without an adapter.

Zipper is puckered after sewing.

Check that you are not pulling or stretching the zipper tape as you sew. The foot is designed to guide it; allow the foot to do the work. Ensure the fabric is also feeding evenly.

Pros and Cons

  • Achieves professional-quality invisible zipper insertions.
  • Simplifies a potentially tricky sewing task.
  • Durable materials ensure long-term use.
  • Easy to attach and detach from compatible machines.
  • Versatile with different zipper sizes thanks to included adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This foot is designed for sewing machines that utilize a clip-on system for attaching presser feet. To attach, simply disengage the old foot (usually via a lever at the back of the presser bar) and then align the new Prym Invisible Zipper Foot under the presser bar and lower the bar until the foot clicks securely into place. The plastic foot component comes with three different sized adapters; select the adapter that best fits the width of your invisible zipper tape and attach it to the plastic foot. Ensure the correct adapter is firmly in place before sewing.

Compatibility: The Prym Invisible Zipper Foot is compatible with most sewing machines that have a standard clip-on, low-shank presser foot system. It is crucial to verify your machine's compatibility before purchase. It is *not* compatible with machines that require screw-on feet or have a high-shank system without an appropriate adapter (sold separately).

Care: To care for your Prym Invisible Zipper Foot, wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove any lint or fabric fibers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic components. Store the foot in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal parts and damage to the plastic.
