Sewing Right Side for Invisible Zipper

Hi, I'm Karen, for Expert Village. Now this time you'll place it on the machine. You'll place the teeth of the zipper in the right side of the groove, the right groove of the indivisible zipper foot. Okay? So it's the right side of the fabric, with the right side of the zipper, in the right side of the invisible zipper foot groove. Just make sure that that's flattened out a little bit like that. Sometimes it wants to curl up a little. So, now again, you want to double check - just go slowly to make sure that the needle is coming down right beside the teeth, and then back up a little bit just to knot it. Continue on with the "nice and slow" with the teeth should be going right into that groove, and the needle is guided exactly beside the teeth of the zipper. You go down, and remove your pins as you go, and checking to make sure that you are right on that marked seam allowance. And go all the way down, until you cannot go any further, (I'm just going to shift this fabric over here), all the way down to the zipper pull, and then just back up a little to knot that. Okay, we'll cut that off of the machine. This is what it should look like, loose on the bottom like this, the zipper is sewn just before the zipper pull. And you have the two pieces, this is the back of the garment, and this is the front of the garment. Now, if you have "basted in", basted your marked seam allowance, at this point you can pull it out, and just carefully take a pin or a seam ripper and pull those threads out, or just grasp it and pull it out like that, and there's the other side. So now we don't have any markings. And this side was the chalked mark, and if you just rub that, it will come off, and after the garments washed, you won't see it either.
