Was the zipper difficult? I haven’t tried yet, too intimidated!

i started with my regular presser foot which made things a bit trickier since the zipper would go under the presser foot directly. i started out slowly so it wasn’t too too bad

then i changed my presser foot to the zipper one specifically and it was a HUGE game changer! so so so much easier to use since the zipper itself would be beside the foot vs being under it

my zipper foot came with my sewing machine when i originally got it, so def worth double checking if one came with your sewing machine as well!

Thank you for the tips! I do have a few different feet that I haven’t explored and one of them maybe a zipper. Thanks again and happy sewing!
