Flat buttons can be sewn on quickly and
easily using the plain zig-zag stitch. The
space between the holes in the button
determines stitch width settings. For
buttons with standard hole spacing, use
settings 0 and 4. For buttons with
unusual hole spacing, use setting 0 and
increase or decrease the width (4) as
necessary.
