SEWING ON BUTTON

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, as shown on page 25.
After stitching the button to the tabric,
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 attach

ing 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 "

as possible without stopping the feeding
action or at the red bar marked "button
hole". The setting will vary for different
fabrics. It may be desirable to loosen the

upper

tension

slightly

cause

the

threads to lock underneath in order to

make the top surface look especially

smooth. For lightweight fabrics, place a

paper underneath the fabric for best

results.
