SEWING ON BUTTONS

No. 10

General Purpose Foot

2.Attach the general purpose foot and align two holes of button with slot of presser foot.

3.Push the button located on the right side of foot and lower the foot to hold the button securely.

4.Adjust the stitch width so that the needle enters the left hole of button.

5.Turn hand wheel by hand so needle enters the second hole. You may need to adjust the stitch width again.

CAUTION: To prevent accidents. Make sure that the needle does not hit the button during sewing. Otherwise needle may break.

6.Sew approximately 10 stitches at slow speed.

7.Raise the foot and cut the threads remaining about 10 cm to the fabric.

8.Pull the end of bobbin thread and pull upper thread to the wrong side of fabric. Tie them together.

9.After sewing, move the drop feed lever to the right.

Note:

To sew a 4-hole button, follow the procedure avobe for the first two holes. Then lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit stitching the other two holes, either independently, or criss- cross over the first two holes.

A.Thread Shank

Sew-through buttons on coats and jackets should have a thread shank to make them stand away from the fabric. Place a straight pin or sewing machine needle on top of button between the holes, and sew over the pin or needle.

Pull thread to back of button and wind around stitches to form a firm shank. Tie thread ends securely.
