Husqvarna Viking HUSQVARNA VIKING Invisible Zipper Foot
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The HUSQVARNA VIKING Invisible Zipper Foot has two grooves under the sole that hold the zipper coils on both sides, keeping the zipper in place as you sew: the zipper is inserted before the seam is stitched, and once finished it stays hidden, invisible from the right side of the fabric.
It is compatible with HUSQVARNA VIKING accessory groups 1 through 9, so with the great majority of the brand's sewing machines with a snap-on foot mount. The maker recommends a zipper at least 3 cm longer than the opening, a centre-needle straight stitch and a stitch length between 2.5 and 3.
It is a specialist foot: outside invisible zippers it does not replace a regular zipper foot, which reaches the coils on one side only instead of both.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The two grooves under the sole guide the zipper coils on both sides, letting the needle stitch closer than a regular zipper foot
- Compatible with HUSQVARNA VIKING accessory groups 1 through 9, so with the great majority of the brand's snap-on machines
- Snap-on mount: fits and releases without tools source
Worth knowing
- Needs a zipper at least 3 cm longer than the opening: this has to be planned when buying the zipper, not after source
- A specialist foot for invisible zippers: it does not replace a regular zipper foot for everyday use
