Machines: Check distance between
the holes of the button by turning the hand wheel; adjust the stitch
width if necessary. Hold the thread tails as you begin to sew.
If using the button sew-on stitch, the machine stops automatically
when program is complete; threads are secured as part of the
program.
If using the universal or zigzag stitch, sew 6-8 stitches, stop, and
tie threads on the wrong side to secure; trim excess thread
Technique #2 – Without Thread Shank
Using the lowest shank setting and the instructions above, attach
a charm, a ribbon, and a hook-and-eye to the same fabric.
Mount the sample.
