Sewing on buttons

With Button sewing program 0 you can easily sew on two and
four-hole buttons.
• Remove the presser foot and lower the feed dog.
• Mark the button position on your fabric. Place the button on
the marked fabric.
• Turn the handwheel towards you and position the button so
the needle enters the left hole in the button.
• Lower the presser foot lifter. The button will be held in
place by the shank of the foot. Turn the handwheel to make
sure the needle also enters the right hole of the button.
• Continue sewing on the button. The machine will complete
the program for you.

Buttonhole tips:

• A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on heavy
fabrics.
• Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be sewn
very close to a reinforced edge.
• Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced
with water-soluble, tissue paper or other lightweight
stabilizer.
• Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable
if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see "Keyhole
buttonhole with gimp thread").
• Linen buttonholes are particularly dense and attractive if
you use buttonhole twist thread.
• Buttonholes are normally selected a little larger than
the button diameter. It is important to always sew a test
buttonhole on the same fabric/stabilizer as your project
