Path Lever in LEFT position. Set left of ZZ Width Control at 5. Place
fabric and button so its LEFT hole is directly under needle and gently
lower foot to hold button. Txim machine wheel slowly by hand until needle
goes down and back up through left hole. Continue tmming wheel until
needle moves to right and starts down again. Now aim it at hole on RIGHT
by turning right side Roller in ZZ Width Control Peinel.
Continue turning wheel by hand to be sure needle clears button as it moves in and out both
holes in button. Then slowly sew five or six stitches and stop machine with needle down in
LEFT hole. Turn ZZ Width Control (right side roller) until Lever slides back to 0. Take a few
stitches in left side hole only, to tie threads. To provide buttoning space for heavier materials
place a rounded toothpick atop button between the two holes while sewing it on.
