If the instructions on the little plastic invisible zipper feet leave you confused or frustrated, then take a look at this tutorial offered by Coats & Clark’s Sewing Secrets blog. (This blog is no longer activie and re-directs) We were able to find this tips and tricks section of the new page.
They give step-by-step instructions and plenty of photographs to show you how to get the invisible zipper foot on to your machine. Here is another helpful tutorial we found for Zipper foots.
The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.
Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.
The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.

Where is the darn tutorial for putting the invisible zipper foot on your machine?
I hear you! Definitely a tutorial I’ll keep my eye out for. The last time I tried to put an invisible zipper on my machine, I spent over an hour fiddling with all the pieces. I finally just gave up and stitched the zipper down with a regular presser foot.
I bought a zipper foot last year and threw out the instructuins when i had sewn the zip. Now I want to sew another zip this year but I have forgotten how to attach the zipper foot. I cannot find (except for the photo) where you have a video of this.

The link is imbedded in the text.
Second from the link which is weird I figured out.. The yellow in my case goes on the white Slipping in where the x part is into the white.. Then this yellow bit slides over the metal column then you screw the screw back into place
except that it doesn’t lead to the tutorial. I get sent to the yarnspirations website, and no tutorial to be found. I can buy a foot there, but don’t need one, I already have the foot, just need to know how to put it on my new machine.
Looks like they have changed their website completely. We have made some updates to the post to reflect that.
