25. SEWING ON BUTTONS
1. Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot. (See Fig. 61)
2. Push drop feed button “DOWN” all the way. (Fig. 65).
3. Set zig zag 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. 62)
4. Move zigzag stitch width stop until the needle comes down exactly over the
right hand hole in the button. (Fig. 63) 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 ecah hole, run the machine at medium
speed, making six or eight 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 btitton. 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
sewine two hole buttons.
