Pull the upper thread at the end of the
k
stitching to the wrong side of the fabric,
and then tie it with the bobbin thread.

Use scissors to cut the upper thread and the
bobbin thread at the beginning of the stitching.
■ Button fitting with thread shank
The thread shank of a button is often needed when
sewing on heavier fabric.
Place a button between the presser foot
a
and the fabric, adjust the stitch width
according to the distance between the
holes in the button and sew on the button
as previously explained.
After sewing about 10 stitches, remove
b
the fabric from the machine leaving a
longer upper thread (about 15 cm (6")) in
order to form a thread shank.
Pull the upper thread through one of the
c
holes on the button until it is between the
button and the fabric and tightly wrap the
thread around the stitches.
With a normal sewing needle, pull the
d
threads to the back of the fabric and tie
the ends together to secure the button.
