SEWING ON BUTTONS
Zigzag stitching is a very easy and convenient
method of sewing on button without a shank.
Place the button so its left hole comes directly
under the needle, then gently lower the button
sewing foot. Take a stitch in the hole.
Raise
the
needle
and
move
zigzag
width
dial
to
the
right
until
the
needle
comes
down
exactly
over the right hole in the button.
Note: Be sure the needle dears the holes of the
button by moving the hand 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.
