the button sewing foot. (2) Set the stitch length to "0".

stitch, with the stitch width set at "0".
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for zig-
zag stitch, then set the width to number "3" - "5". Turn the
handwheel to check that the needle goes cleanly into the left
and right holes of the button. Adjust the stitch width, as
needed, according to the distance between the holes of the
button. Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches.
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for
straight stitch again, with the width at "0" sew a few securing
stitches to finish.
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the
button and sew. For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the
front two holes first, push the work forward and then sew
through the back two holes.
