SEWING ON BUTTONS
1. Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot.
(See Fig. 39.)
2. Set drop feed control at “DOWN” position all the way. (Fig.
3. Set zigzag stitch width stop at 0. Place the button so that
its left hole comes directly under the needle, then gently
lower the presser foot. (Fig. 40).
4. Move zigzag stitch width stop until the needle comes down
exactly over the right hand hole in the button. (Fig. 41).
Turn the hand wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle
enters both holes in button without deflecting needle, correct
width if necessary.
5. When needle goes into the center of each hole,
machine at medium speed, making six or eight
run the
stitches,
stopping with the needle in the left hole.
6. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, 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 to fasten.
Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four holes,
hooks and snaps, etc. If a four hole button is to be sewn,
follow the same procedure as 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.
