• When attaching four-hole buttons, first sew the two
holes closest to you. Then, slide the button so that
the needle goes into the two holes toward the rear of
the machine, and then sew them in the same way.
g Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) to
check that the needle correctly goes into the two holes
of the button.
If it seems as if the needle will hit the button, remeasure
the distance between the holes in the button. Adjust the
stitch width to the distance between the buttonholes.
CAUTION
• When sewing, be sure that the needle does not
touch the button, otherwise the needle may
bend or break.
