r Feed dog:
1. Drop the feed dogs. Place the button under the foot,
making sure to align the holes with the horizontal
slot in the foot. Lower the presser foot to hold the button
in place.
2. Determine which stitch width setting matches the
distance between the button holes. The needle must go
safely through each hole when sewing.
Unthread the needle to help you determine the zigzag
width.
3. Thread the needle. Turn the handwheel, so that the
needle is in its leftmost position, and then drop the
needle through the right buttonhole.
4. Start the machine and sew about 10 stitches.
5. Sew the other row of holes (if applicable) using the steps
above. Trim excess threads from both sides of the fabric.
