• With a Thread Shank

Buttons sewn on coats or jackets should
have a thread shank to make them stand

away from the fabric. To form a thread
shank, sew over a pin or rounded tooth
pick.
After stitching the button to the fabric,
remove work from under the presser foot

leaving threads about six inches from

fabric. Remove pin or toothpick. Pull
the threads to back of button and form a
shank between button and fabric by

winding

threads

tightly

around

the

attaching stitches. Pull threads to back of
the fabric and tie thread ends securely.

SATIN STITCHING

This is useful for decoration such as
tapering, manual designed embroidery,
monogramming and applique.
The satin stitch, which is really just a
very close zigzag stitch, is obtained by
setting the stitch length as near to "0"
as possible without stopping the feeding
action or at the symbol □ . The setting
will vary for different fabrics. It may be

desirable to loosen the upper tension
slightly to cause the threads to lock
underneath in order to make the top
surface

look

especially

smooth.

For

lightweight

fabrics,

place

paper

underneath the fabric for best results.
