You are all adding tips so fast, I can barely keep up :-) Now to look thru the gazillion feet I've never used & see if there's a piping foot.Thanks for the info.

I haven't used a zipper foot since the early 80s when my friend Jeanne showed me how much easier it is when you use a piping foot.... just set the piping groove on top of the zipper teeth, slightly adjust needle to correct side of teeth for stitching and sew.
