SEWING ON BUTTONS

1. Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot.

(See Figs. 26, 27)

2. Push "DOWN" button in.
3.

Move zigzag width lever, to 'O', position or to the extreme left.

Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the
needle,

then

gently

lower

the

presser

foot.

Move

the

zigzag

width lever to the right until the needle comes exactly over the
right

hole

the

button.

Turn

the

balance

wheel

slowly

hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button.

Correct width if necessary and lock with stops.

When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine

at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the
needle in the left hole.

To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent raveling,

set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches
in the same hole. If you wish you may place
a

rounded

toothpick

over

the button, between

the two holes, and sew button to fabric in

regular way.
Remove the toothpick and wind thread under the button, forming

a shank. Fasten.

Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four holes,

hooks and snaps, etc. If four hole button is to be sewn, follow the
same procedure above for the two hole button.

Now lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit stitching

the remaining two holes. Hooks, snaps etc., are sewn to the fabric
with the same procedure as for sewing two hole buttons.
