1. Drop the feed dogs. Place the button belovv/ the zigzag
foot, making sure to align the holes with the horizontal
slot in the foot. Lower the presser foot to hold the button
in place.
2. Determine which zigzag width setting matches the
distance between the button holes. The needle must go
safely through each hole when sewing.
Unthread the needle to help you determine the zigzag
width.
3. Turn the handwheel, so that the needle is in its leftmost
position, and then drop the needle through the left
hole in the button. Thread the needle.
4. Press the foot control and sew about 10 stitches.
5. Sew the other row of holes (if applicable) using the steps
above. Trim excess threads from both sides of the fabric.
