Sew On A Button - Pfaff ambition essential Owner's Manual

Corded buttonhole (Stretch fabrics)
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics we
recommend cording the buttonhole to increase the
stability and to keep the buttonhole from stretching
out.
1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or pearl cotton
over the fi nger at the back of the buttonhole
foot 5B. Pull the thread tails under the foot,
toward the front, then secure around the fi nger
at the front of the foot.
2. Stitch a buttonhole. The satin buttonhole
columns will stitch over the cord.
3. When the buttonhole is fi nished, lift the cord
off the fi nger and pull out the slack.
4. Cross the cord in front of the needle and thread
cord ends into a large needle, pull to the wrong
side and knot ends before cutting excess.
5. Use the seam ripper to carefully open the
buttonhole.

Sew on a button

1. To sew on a button, remove the presser foot
and select the button sewing stitch.
2. Lower the feed dogs.
3. Place the button under the presser foot holder.
Use the mirroring function to make sure the
holes in the button are aligned with the swing
of the needle and the width is appropriate for
the actual button. If necessary, adjust the stitch
width to change the width between the holes.
4. You can increase or decrease the number of
stitches that will fasten the button on the fabric
(A) in steps of two, using the stitch length
buttons (B).
5. Start to sew. The machine will sew the
program for you and then tie-off and stop.
Note: Use the multi-purpose tool to create a thread
shank for your button. You can also use the Sew-on
Button Foot #820 473-96, available as an optional
accessory.
