Switch to a basting stitch (long, temporary stitch) to close the remaining opening, and press the entire seam allowance open. Installation: Setting the Zipper

Press the edges of the fabric where the zipper will be installed to create sharp, clean edges.

Use Wonder Tape or pins to secure the zipper tape to the seam allowance.

Install a zipper foot on your sewing machine to allow stitching close to the teeth.
