BERNINA SEWING MACHINE WORKBOOK
ATTACHING BUTTONS
1. Attach the Button Sew-On Foot #18 to the machine
and lower the feed dog.
2. Select the Button Sew-On Program #60.
3. Fold the fabric in half to 4” x 4” and press.
4. Insert the stabilizer between the layers of fabric.
5. Adjust the pin on the Button Sew-On Foot #18 to the
desired position.
• A short shank is appropriate for dress-and blouse-
weight fabrics.
• A long shank is appropriate for coat and jacket-
weight materials.
6. Check the distance between the holes of the button
by turning the hand wheel. Adjust the stitch width
if necessary so that the left and right swings of the
needle fall into the holes of the button. Hold the thread
tails as you begin to sew.
7. When using the Button Sew-on Program, the machine
stops automatically when the program is complete
(keep the Foot Control fully depressed until the machine
stops, or use the Start/Stop button); the thread tails are
secured as part of the program.
Tips:
• Using the lowest shank setting and the instructions above
attach a charm(s) or snap or hook and eye.
• Stitch a ribbon with this technique (the stitch makes a
bartack) and then tie the ribbon into a bow.
