ATTACHING BUTTONS
B 335 and 325
1.
Remove shank from machine and attach Button Sew-On
Foot #18 to the machine; lower the feed dog.
2.
Select the Button Sew-On Program (#11 B 325, #14 B
335).
3.
Fold the fabric in half to 4” x 4” and press.
4.
Insert the stabilizer between the layers of fabric.
5.
Adjust the pin on the Button Sew-On Foot #18 to the
desired position.
• A short thread shank is appropriate for dress-and
blouse-weight fabrics (lower the pin towards the
button).
• A tall shank is appropriate for coat and jacket-weight
materials (raise the pin above the button).
6.
Check the distance between the holes of the button
by turning the hand wheel. Adjust the stitch width if
necessary so that the left and right swings of the needle
fall into the holes of the button. Hold the thread tails as
you begin to sew.
7.
When using the Button Sew-on Program, the machine
stops automatically when the program is complete
(keep the Foot Control fully depressed until the machine
stops, or use the Start/Stop button); the thread tails are
secured as part of the program.
B 215
1.
Remove shank from machine and attach Button Sew-On
Foot #18 to the machine; lower the feed dog.
2.
Select Zigzag Stitch #2.
3.
Change the width of the stitch to fit the width of the
holes in the button.
4.
Sew 6 to 8 zigzags and stop.
5.
Bring the thread tails to the wrong side of the fabric and
knot them together; trim the excess thread.
Tips:
• Using the lowest shank setting and the instructions above
attach a charm(s) or snap or hook and eye.
• Stitch a ribbon with this technique (the stitch makes a
bartack) and then tie the ribbon into a bow.
