16 SEWING ON BUTTONS 1. Remove presser foot and attach button sewing foot. See Fig. 25 2. Turn drop feed knob to "Down" position 3. Set zigzag stitch width at 0. Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the needle, then gently lower the presser foot. Fig. 26. 4. Move zigzag stitch width control until the needle comes down exactly over the right hand hole in the button. Fig. 27. Turn the hand wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle enters both holes in button without deflecting needle, correct width if necessary. 5. When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine at medium speed, making six or eight stitches, stopping with the needle in the left hole. 6. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches in the same hole. If you wish you may place a rounded toothpick over the button, between the two holes, and sew button to fabric in regular way. Remove the toothpick and wind thread under the button, forming a shank to fasten. Apply the above method to sew on buttons with four holes, hooks and snaps, etc. If a four hole button is to be sewn, follow the same procedure above for the two hole button. Now lift presser foot slightly and move fabric to permit stitching the remaining two holes. Hooks, snaps, etc., are sewn to the fabric with the same procedure as for sewing two hole buttons.
