SEWING ON BUTTONS

Place the button so Its left hole comes
directly under the needle of its left zigzag

swing then gently lower the button foot.

Take a stitch into the hole.

Raise the needle from the left hole, and

move zigzag width control to the right
until the needle comes down exactly over
the right hole in the button.

Note: Be sure the needle clears the holes
of the button by movigg the wheel by
hand before running the machine fast.

Usually 6 to 8 stitches are adequate for

securing a button in place. Stop with the
needle in the left hole. To lock the

threads, set the stitch width at 0 and
take a few stitches in the left hand hole.
