Yes, you do still have to put the presser foot down. It controls the tension of the thread. I once put a zipper in a dress with the presser foot UP. I was so nervous and holding the fabric so tight that it actually went in looking good!
Thanks for the info. I'm still too nervous to actually try this. It always takes me a while to think thru a project before I actually try it!
