SEWING ON BUTTONS
Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing
foot. (Fig. 36)
Turn drop feed knob to Down position, frig. 4Uj.
Set zigzag stitch width lever at 0. Place the button
so its left-hand hole comes directly under the needle,
then gently lower the presser foot. (Fig. 37)
Move zigzag stitch width lever to the right until the
needle comes down exactly over the right-hand hole
in the button. (Fig. 38) u i j
Move left-hand zigzag stitch width lever stop to hold
lever in place. Turn the hand wheel slowly by hand to
be
sure the needle enters both holes in button without
deflecting needle. Correct width if necessary.
When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the
machine at medium speed, making six or eight stitches,
stopping with the needle in the left hole.
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 button, forming a shank, 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 above for the two hole
button. Now lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to
permit stitching the remaining two holes.
