Attach the button sewing foot. Set the stitch width to 0. Position the button and fabric under the foot. Position the needle over the left hole [Fig. 1]. Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle clears the hole, and sew several stitches to secure threads.

Turn the stitch width dial to 5 and reposition the fabric and button to the left slightly so the needle is again aligned with the left hole. Turn the handwheel to make sure the zigzag stitch clears the holes of the button [Fig. 2]. Adjust the stitch width, if needed. Sew 8-10 stitches [Fig. 3].

To secure the stitches, set the stitch width to 0, reposition the needle over the button hole and sew a few stitches. Remove the fabric and button from the machine and clip the threads [Fig. 4].

SEAMING KNITS

A narrow zigzag stitch is very flexible and durable making it suitable for medium to lightweight knit fabrics.
