them there.

> Lower the presser foot an sew the buttonhole.
– The buttonhole will sew over the cord, covering it.
> Pull the cord through the buttonhole until the loop disappears in the bartack.

secure with stitches.
9.5 Sewing on buttons
With the button sew-on program, buttons with 2 or 4 holes, push buttons or latches can be sewn on. For a
increased stability the button sew-on program can be sewn twice. When sewing on a button with 4 holes,
the front holes should be sewn first.
