Unthread the needle. Adjust the stitch width to match it
with the span of the holes in the button. Turn the
handwheel to check if the needle enters into each hole in
the button.
Lower the foot to hold the button in place.
The holes in the button should align with the slot of the
foot.
A pin can be placed on the foot to form a shank.
Make sure to check if the needle enters into both holes
in the button.

Re-thread the needle and sew about 10 stitches and cut
the needle and bobbin threads at the beginning.
Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric. Cut the
needle and bobbin threads leaving 8” (20 cm) tails.
Bring the needle thread between the button and fabric
through the holes in the button.
Pull the needle thread to pick bobbin thread up to the
right side of the fabric.
Wind the threads to from a shank and tie them together.
