Basic Sewing Techniques
Sewing on buttons
Sew buttons, snaps, hooks and eyes quickly with your sewing
machine.
1. Snap off the presser foot and lower the feed teeth.
2. Place the fabric, multipurpose tool and button under the
ankle with the holes in the button lined up with the swing
of the needle. Check the swing of the needle by pressing the
mirror side to side button to be sure the needle will not hit the
button. Bring the needle down into the holes of the button
with the handwheel to verify.
Note: The recommended width of 3.0 is set for most buttons. If you sew
a tiny button or a very large coat button, decrease (–) or increase (+) the
stitch width until the swing of the needle sews in the holes of the button.
3. Set the number of stitches to sew on the button (C) by
pressing the up and down arrow buttons. Six to eight stitches
is normal.
4. Press the foot control. The sewing machine will sew the
number of stitches set on the display and then tie off and
stop.
Tip: Place the thin end of the multipurpose tool under the button when
sewing on light fabrics. Use the thick end for heavier fabrics. Hold in
place on the fabric with transparent tape.
