Zippered Up

Zipper success!  I followed along with Bonne Marie Burns on attaching a zipper to a knit garment.

I carefully followed her instructions and my zipper adventure was not as traumatic as it could have been.

Then I had to figure out on my sewing machine which foot to use (F foot) and how to set it up.  After a few test pieces, I started with my zipper.  There are a few places where the knit touches the teeth of the zipper at the bottom of the sweater so it takes a bit of futzing to get it to work, but once this baby is zipped up, the sweater is great.

Here is my finished zipper - ready for judging at Black Sheep Gathering.
