"I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. Take the edge of your zipper foot and line it up with the center seam and then just put the foot down. You can take out the pins, make sure your stitch length is on the three and you're ready to begin. As you get to the pins, just take them out and the whole time making sure that you are keeping the fabric very straight. Then you stitch all the way to the end when you get to this point, you are going to take the last pin out and making sure that your needle is inside of the fabric. You're going to lift turn your fabric and then you're going to stitch across, if you have any problems stitching over the teeth just pick up the fabric a little bit and then manually put the needle down. Make sure that the needle is down into the fabric you are going to lift it up again and now we're ready to come back up. Again we're going to stop just about an inch an a half short from the top, make sure to back tack and you're ready to take out the fabric for the next step."
