The PFAFF® Zipper Foot is designed to allow the needle to sew directly next to the zipper coils, maximizing the closing of the fabric over the zipper for a clean, professional finish in garment construction.
Yes, PFAFF® Zipper Feet designed for IDT™ machines ensure the Integrated Dual Feed feature remains engaged, providing perfect fabric feeding even when stitching close to the zipper teeth.
For truly invisible results, it is best to use the dedicated PFAFF® Invisible Zipper Foot, which has unique grooves to position the coils precisely for a perfectly concealed zipper installation.
Check that you are using the correct needle size and type (e.g., universal or stretch) for your fabric, as skipped stitches are rarely the fault of the PFAFF® Zipper Foot itself.
The PFAFF® Zipper Foot usually has two connection points or a sliding mechanism that allows you to easily reposition the foot for stitching on either the left or right side of the zipper.
