zipper foot
A zipper foot is a specialized sewing machine attachment designed to help you sew close to the edge of a zipper or other narrow, raised surfaces. It allows the needle to stitch very close to the zipper teeth or edge without hitting them, ensuring a neat and professional finish. When attaching a zipper, the zipper foot slides alongside the zipper teeth, giving you precise control and consistency. It's an essential tool for sewing zippers into garments, bags, or any project where a tidy, close-fitting zipper is desired.
