￿￿Sewing on Buttons

Move the drop feed control to right side to lower the feed dogs. (1)

Change the all purpose foot to the button sewing foot. (2) Set the stitch length to "0".

Place the button and fabric under the Button Sewing foot, as illustrated in (3).

Set the machine for zig-zag stitch, then set the width to number "3" - "6". Turn the handwheel to check that the needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the button. Adjust the stitch width, as needed, according to the distance between the holes of the button. Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches.

Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for straight stitch again, then sew a few securing stitches to finish.

If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the button and sew. For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes first, push the work forward and then sew through the back two holes.
