•When attaching four-hole buttons, first sew the two holes closest to you. Then, slide the button so that the needle goes into the two holes toward the rear of the sewing machine, and then sew them in the same way.

gTurn the balance wheel toward you to check that the needle correctly goes into the two holes of the button.

Adjust the stitch width to the distance between the button holes.

CAUTION

●When sewing, be sure that the needle does not touch the button, otherwise the needle may bend or break.
