Sewing On Buttons - Singer M2400 Instruction Manual

Sewing on Buttons

Install the darning plate. (1)
Change the all purpose foot to the button sewing foot. (2)
Set the stitch length to "0".
Place the button and fabric under the Button Sewing foot, as
illustrated in (3).
Set the machine for zig-zag stitch. Adjust the dial until the
needle moves from the left hole into the right hole of the
button without interference. Turn the handwheel to check that
the needle goes cleanly into the left and right holes of the
button. Slowly sew on the button with about 10 stitches.
Raise the needle out of the fabric. Set the machine for
straight stitch again, then sew a few securing stitches to
finish.
If a shank is required, place a darning needle on top of the
button and sew. (4)
For buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front two holes
first, push the work forward and then sew through the back
two holes.
