. SEWING ON BUTTONS
Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot. (See Fig. 28).
Set drop feed lever "DOWN” marked position.
Move stitch width dial to 0 position. Place’ the button so that its left hole comes
directly under the needle, then gently lower the presser foot. Move the stitch width
dial to the right until the needle comes exactly over the right hole of the button. Turn
the hand wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button.
When needle goes into the center of each hole, nm 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 button,
forming a shank. Fasten.
If a four hole button is to be sewn, follow the same
procedure as 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.
