− When the buttonhole program is finished, take the fabric out of the
sewing machine and cut off the ends of the reinforcement yarn.
TIP
You should practise a few buttonholes on a piece of cloth
fi rst in order to learn how to use reinforcement yarn.
Sewing on buttons, hooks and eyes
The button fitting foot makes light work of sewing on buttons, hooks
and eyes.
Use the darning plate to stop the fabric from slipping.

− Lower the presser foot and place the button between the fabric
and presser foot so that the stitch enters the holes of the button as
shown in the diagram.
− Use the hand wheel to control the position of the button. The
needle must exactly enter the holes of the button, otherwise the
needle may be damaged.
− There are five different stitch widths between programs B and C for
the various distances between buttonholes.
− At a low speed, sew about 6 to 7 stitches per hole.
For buttons with four holes, the material is shifted with the button:
then 6 to 7 stitches are sewn in the other holes. Once you have
removed the fabric, pass a generous length of the upper thread to the
underside of the fabric and knot it to the lower thread there.
Sewing buttons with a shank
In the case of heavy fabrics, a button shank is often needed.
− Place a needle or, for a thicker shank, a matchstick (A) on the
button and then proceed to sew as for a normal button.
− After about 10 stitches, remove the material from the machine.
− Remove the needle or matchstick.
− Cut the upper thread, leaving a slightly longer length of upper
thread.
− Pass the upper thread through the button and wind it around the
threads a few times to create a shank, then pass it through to the
underside of the fabric and tie it in a knot with the lower thread.
