a
Measure the distance between the holes in the
button to be attached.
b
Place the darning plate on the needle plate as
shown below.
c
Place a button between the presser foot and
the fabric.
d
You will need to adjust the stitch width to
match the distance between the holes in the
button. Turning the width knob will narrow or
widen the “swing” of the stitch to
accommodate most buttons.
e
Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to check that the needle
correctly goes into the two holes of the button.
f
Start sewing.
• After sewing for about 10 seconds at a low
speed, press and hold down the reverse sewing
lever to sew a few reinforcement stitches.
g
Pull the fabric to the left side of the machine,
and then cut the upper and lower threads,
leaving a length of 15 cm (6 inches).
h
Pull the upper thread at the end of the
stitching to the wrong side of the fabric, and
then tie it with the bobbin thread.
Use scissors to cut the upper thread and the
bobbin thread at the beginning of the stitching.
■
Button fitting with thread shank
The thread shank of a button is often needed when
sewing on heavier fabric.
a
Place a button between the presser foot and
the fabric, adjust the stitch width according to
the distance between the holes in the button
and sew on the button as previously explained.
b
After sewing about 10 stitches, remove the
fabric from the machine leaving a longer
upper thread (about 15 cm (6")) in order to
form a thread shank.
c
Pull the upper thread through one of the holes
on the button until it is between the button
and the fabric and tightly wrap the thread
around the stitches.
d
With a normal sewing needle, pull the threads
to the back of the fabric and tie the ends
together to secure the button.
●
When sewing, be sure that the needle does
not touch the button, otherwise the needle
may bend or break.
