SEWING ON BUTTONS
Fig. 22
1. Use button sewing foot and zigzag needle plate.
2. Set drop feed dial to "EXDWN" position.
3. Set the needle positioning lever to "L" position.
4. Move zigzag width control 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 zigzag width control 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.
5. 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.
6. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, set the zigzag
width control dial at 0, and take a few stitches in the same
hole. If you wish, you may place a roimded 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 pressure foot slightly
and move fabric to permit stitching the remaining two holes.
Hooks, snaj», etc. are sewn to the fabric with the same proce­
dure as for sewing two hole buttons.
