Sewing buttons with a shank
In the case of heavy fabrics, a button shank is often needed.
Place a needle or, for a thicker shank, a matchstick on the button and
then proceed to sew as for a normal button.
After about 10 stitches, remove the material from the machine.
Remove the needle or matchstick.
Leave the upper thread a little longer and cut the upper thread off.
Thread the upper thread through the button and wind it a few times
around the shank created, then pass it through to the underside of
the fabric and knot it to the lower thread.
Sewing in zips
Depending on which side of the zip band you are sewing, the presser
foot must always be on the fabric.
For this reason, the presser foot is attached on either the left-hand or
right-hand side, and not in the middle like all other presser feet.
Presser foot: .............................................................................................. zip presser foot
Presser foot indicator: .......................................................................................................J
Programme: ...........................................................................................................................1
Stitch length: ............................................................................................................ 1.5 to 3
Stitch width: ..........................................................................................................0.5 to 6.5
Raise the presser foot and needle to their top position to change the
presser foot.
Tack the zip onto the fabric and place the workpiece in position
under the foot.
To sew the right-hand side of the zip, attach the zip presser foot so
that the needle sews on the left-hand side.
Sew the right-hand side of the zip, creating the stitches as close as
possible to the teeth.
Sew in the zip around 0.5 centimetres below the teeth using a
bridge.
To sew the left-hand side of the zip, change the foot position on the
presser foot holder.
Proceed in the same way as for the right-hand side of the zip.
Before the foot reaches the slider on the zip band, lift the foot up and
open the zip, keeping the needle in the material.
Sewing in drawstrings
You can also use the zip presser foot to sew in drawstrings, as
illustrated.
Fold the fabric over once to create a drawstring tunnel and then sew
along the drawstring, making sure the zip presser foot is behind the
drawstring.
