UTILITY STITCHES

Odd Shaped Buttons/Buttons that Do Not Fit
into the Button Holder Plate
Add together the diameter and thickness of the button,
and then set the button holder plate to the calculated
length. (The distance between the markings on the presser
foot scale is 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch).)
Example: For a button with a diameter of 15 mm (approx.
9/16 inch) and a thickness of 10 mm (approx. 3/8 inch),
the scale should be set at 25 mm (approx. 1 inch).

You can sew 4-step buttonholes using the following 4 stitches
together. You can sew any desired length for the buttonhole
when using 4-step buttonholes. 4-step buttonholes are a good
option when attaching oversize buttons.
