Memo
zWhen 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 handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) 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.
