You might want to put fabric leaders ...Hi, Bonnie. You might want to put fabric leaders on the part of your zippers that you pin the quilt to. It works best if you use the long straight grain (parallel to the selvege) so they don't stretch out. Use fabric that is easy to pin through. It gives you a little more room to avoid hitting your zippers with the machine (Don't ask how I know that), and keeps you from stretching the zipper's edges. If you sew it on with a chain stitch, it is really easy to take off and replace when needed. Teddy on the Nolting list suggested it to us about 2 years ago when we first bought our machine.
