Sew On A Button - Pfaff Passport 2.0 Owner's Manual

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
foot 5B. Pull the thread tails under the foot,
at the front of the foot.
2. Stitch a buttonhole. The satin buttonhole
columns will stitch over the cord.
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, number 20
(19 on 2.0).
2. Lower the feed dogs.
3. Place the button under the presser foot holder.
Turn the handwheel slowly 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 accommodate the width between the
holes.
4. You can increase or decrease the number of
stitches that will fasten the button on the fabric
in steps of two, using the stitch length buttons
(A). The set number of stitches is indicated on
the display. 6 stitches is default.
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.
