Adjusting the thread shank
For buttons on thicker fabrics, increase the thread shank = the distance between the button and the fabric.
Buttons sewn on thin fabrics or buttons for decorative purposes only are stitched without a «thread shank».
NOTICE! The adjustment of the thread shank is only possible when using the Button Sew-on
Foot #18.
> Loosen the screw on the back of the presser foot.
> Push the bar upwards according to the thickness of the fabric.
> Tighten the screw.
Sewing on a button
Prerequisite:
• The shank length is adjusted according the fabric thickness.
• The Button Sew-On Foot #18 or an alternative presser foot is fitted.
• The fitted presser foot has been selected in the user interface.
• The feed dog is lowered.
> Tap «Buttonholes».
> Select Button sew-on program No. 60.
> Turn the handwheel until the bobbin thread comes up.
>
NOTICE! The Button sew-on Program always starts above the left hole of the button.
Place the button on the fabric. Position the button and the fabric under the needle so that the needle
stitches into the left hole.
For buttons with 4 holes, sew on the two front holes first, then the two back holes.
> Lower the presser foot.
> Perform the first stitches in the left hole via the handwheel.
> Keep turning the handwheel until the needle changes the position to the right hole. Make sure that the
needle hits the right hole. If required, adjust the stitch width via the Upper Multi-function knob.
> Hold the threads and push the foot control.
– The machine sews on the button and stops automatically.
> For increased stability, sew the Button sew-on program again.
> Cut the threads on the machine. Alternatively, pull the fabric from the sewing machine and cut the
threads by hand. Pull the upper thread down and knot it with the lower thread.
