Sewing on buttons and eyelets
Sewing buttons with stem
37
Buttons, hooks and eyelets can easily be
sewed on by means of the transparent-blue
presser foot.
The program selection (3) has to be set to the
zigzag width corresponding with the distance
between the holes.
NOTE: Instructions for removing and
inserting the presser foot can be found
on page 9.
1. Lower the presser foot, while placing the
button between the fabric and the presser
foot just so that the zigzag stitch will hit the
holes in the button, as shown.
Check whether the button is in the right
position by manually turning the
balance wheel (28). The needle has to enter
into the holes. If necessary, change the
zigzag width.
Proceed to sew with low speed 6 to 7
stitches per hole.
In case of buttons with four holes, the fabric
is moved together with the button: then you
repeat sewing 6 to 7 stitches into the other
holes. After having removed the fabric, the
generously cut upper thread has to be drawn
to the under side of the fabric and knotted
with the under thread.
In case of heavy materials, button stems are
often required.
2. Place a needle, or in case of a thicker stem,
a matchstick on the button, and proceed like
before when sewing normal buttons.
Remove the material from the machine
after about 10 stitches.
Leave the upper thread a bit longer. Now
draw the upper thread through a buttonhole
and wrap it around the stitch threads.
Finally, the threads should be knotted
on the back.
