Button sewing
With zigzag stitch D you can sew on two-
and four-hole buttons.
Note : Lower the feed dog when sewing on
buttons.
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.
Sew about 10 stitches.
Note : When sewing a four-hole button, move
the button to the other pair of holes, and sew
the button again.
Raise the presser foot and remove the
fabric. Cut the needle and bobbin threads
leaving 20 cm (8") 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 form a shank and tie
them together.
Note : Raise the feed dog after sewing.
