SEWING ON BUTTONS
No. 11
Button Sewing Foot
1. Lower the feed dogs by moving the drop feed
lever to the left.
2. Attach the button sewing foot and align two
holes of button with slot of presser foot and
lower foot to hold the button securely.
3. Adjust the stitch width so that the needle enters
the left hole of button.
4. Turn hand wheel by hand so needle enters the
second hole. You may need to adjust the stitch
width again.
CAUTION: To prevent accidents.
Make sure that the needle does not hit the button
during sewing. Otherwise needle may break.
5. Sew approximately 10 stitches at slow speed.
6. Raise the foot and cut the threads remaining
about 10 cm to the fabric.
7. Pull the end of bobbin thread and pull upper
thread to the wrong side of fabric. Tie them
together.
8. After sewing, move the drop feed lever to the
right.
Note:
To sew a 4-hole button, follow the procedure
avobe for the first two holes. Then lift presser foot
slightly and move fabric to permit stitching the
other two holes, either independently, or criss-
cross over the first two holes.
A.Thread Shank
Sew-through buttons on coats and jackets should
have a thread shank to make them stand away
from the fabric. Place a straight pin or sewing
machine needle on top of button between the
holes, and sew over the pin or needle.
Pull thread to back of button and wind around
stitches to form a firm shank. Tie thread ends
securely.
