Drop the feed dogs. Match the holes on a button with the horizontal slot on the presser foot [A]. Ad-

just stitch width matching the distance of the holes on the button. Lower the foot to hold the button in

place, Check to see if the needle enters into the holes on the button by turning the handwheel by hand. Sew about ten (10) stitches°

To strengthen the shank, cut the threads leaving about 4" (10 cm)o Bring the needle thread down through one of the holes on the button and wind it around the shank° Bring the needle thread to the wrong side of the fabric and knot the threads. After button sewing is completed, raise the feed dogs for normal sewing.

Overcasting			Stitch
(_)	Stitch	width:		5 to 6,5
(_	Stitch	length:		Red zone
(_	Needle		thread tension:	3to8
(_)	Presser		foot A:	Zigzag foot
(_) Presser foot C:				Overedge foot

Note =

Set the stitch width from 5.0 to 65 when the overedge foot C is used to prevent needle breakage or damaging the foot.

This is useful in garment construction and in finishing raw edges of any sewing project.

Start overcasting about 1/8'"(0.3 cm) inside the raw corner of a seam° tf you start right at the edge, the fabric bunches up and the stitches become tangled.

:{_ Gently guide the fabric so that the raw edges always touch the black ridge and brush guide°
