Help! Some advice needed.
I have just knitted a child's cardigan in a double knit cotton yarn, and I now need to sew in a zip.
My question is, should I sew the zipper in by hand with cotton thread, or is it possible to do it on a sewing machine? If I use the sewing machine should I place it on the machine with the knitted garment under the zipper, tacking the zipper to the knit first? I am really worried about setting the tension correctly on the machine, but if I hand sew I know it won't be as neat.
Any advice anyone?
