SEWING ON BUTTONS
Fig. 24
1. Use button sewing foot and zigzag needle plate.
2. Set drop feed dial to "DOWN" position.
3. Set S.S lever to "M" position.
4. Move Z.B dial to "0" position. Place the button so that its left
hole comes directly under the needle, then gently lower the
presser foot. Move the Z.B dial to the right until the needle
comes exactly over the right hole of the button. Turn the hand
wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes
of the button.
5. When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine
at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the
needle in the left hole.
6. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, set the Z.B dial
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 thread under button, forming a shank.
Fasten.
If a four hole button is to be sewn, follow the same procedure
as above for the two hole button. Now lift pressure foot slightly
and move fabric to permit stitching the remaining two holes.
Hooks, snaps, etc. are sewn to the fabric with the same proce
dure as for sewing two hole buttons.
