Sewing 3:17 Prog. 0 4.0 - 2-3 -/0 Sewing on buttons With Button sewing program 0 you can easily sew on two and four-hole buttons. • Remove the presser foot and lower the feed dog. • Mark the button position on your fabric. Place the button on the marked fabric. • Turn the handwheel towards you and position the button so the needle enters the left hole in the button. • Lower the presser foot lifter. The button will be held in place by the shank of the foot. Turn the handwheel to make sure the needle also enters the right hole of the button. • Continue sewing on the button. The machine will complete the program for you. Buttonhole tips: • A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on heavy fabrics. • Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edge. • Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced with water-soluble, tissue paper or other lightweight stabilizer. • Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see "Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread"). • Linen buttonholes are particularly dense and attractive if you use buttonhole twist thread. • Buttonholes are normally selected a little larger than the button diameter. It is important to always sew a test buttonhole on the same fabric/stabilizer as your project
