Unthread the needle thread.
Place a button on the fabric and lower the needle by turning the handwheel, so that the needle enters into the left hole in the button.
Align the holes in the button with the slot on the foot and lower it to hold the button in place.
Turn the handwheel several times until the needle bar swings to the right.
Adjust the stitch width so the needle enters into the right hole in the button.
Rethread the machine and sew about 10 stitches at a slow speed.
Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric.
Trim both needle and bobbin threads at the beginning.
Cut both threads leaving 8” (20 cm) tails.
Pull the bobbin thread to bring the needle thread to the wrong side of the fabric then knot the threads.
After sewing is finished, raise the feed dog.
