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.
