SEWING ON BUTTONS
1. RefTKive hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot
(Fig. 45).
2. Turn drop feed knob to Down position. (Fig. 49).
3. Set needle position lever at "L".
4. 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. 46).
5. Move zigzag stitch width lever to the right until the needle comes
down exactly over the right-hand hole in the button (Fig. 47).
6. Move left-hand zigzag stitch width lever stop to hold lever in
place. Turn the hand wheel slowly by hand to be ajre the needle
enters both holes in button without deflecting needle.
Correct width if nec^sary.
7. 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.
8. 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 thrrad 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 prefer foot
slightly and move fabric to permit stitching the remaining two holes.
