SEWING ON BUTTONS
No. 49 Button Sewing Foot
1. Lower the feed dogs by moving the drop
feed lever to the left.
2. Attach the button sewing foot and align
two holes of button with slot of presser
foot and lower foot to hold the button
securely.
3. Adjust the stitch width so that the needle
enters the left hole of button.
4. Turn hand wheel by hand so needle
enters the second hole. You may need to
adjust the stitch width again.
CAUTION: To prevent accidents.
Make sure that the needle does not hit the
button during sewing. Otherwise needle may
break.
5. Sew approximately 10 stitches at slow
speed.
6. Raise the foot and cut the threads
remaining about 2 inches to the fabric.
7. Pull the end of bobbin thread and pull
upper thread to the wrong side of fabric.
Tie them together.
8. After sewing, move the drop feed lever to
the right.
Note:
To sew a 4-hole button, follow the procedure
avobe for the first two holes. Then lift
presser foot slightly and move fabric to
permit stitching the other two holes, either
independently, or criss-cross over the first
two holes.
A. Thread Shank
Sew-through buttons on coats and jackets
should have a thread shank to make them
stand away from the fabric. Place a straight
pin or sewing machine needle on top of
button between the holes, and sew over the
pin or needle.
Pull thread to back of button and wind around
stitches to form a firm shank. Tie thread ends
securely.
