Sewing On Buttons - Husqvarna Viking Jade 20 User Manual

Sewing on Buttons

Sew buttons and snaps quickly with your sewing machine
using and the stitch for sewing on buttons (number 9).
1. Snap off the presser foot and lower the feed teeth.
2. Place the fabric, multipurpose tool (optional accessory,
part number 4131056–01) and button under the ankle
with the holes in the button lined up with the swing of
the needle. Check the swing of the needle by pressing the
mirror side to side button to be sure the needle will not
hit the button. Bring the needle down into the holes of
the button with the handwheel to verify.
Tip: When using the multipurpose tool, the button is stitched to the
fabric leaving a shank. If stitching without the multipurpose tool the
button is stitched to the fabric without distance.
Tip: You can also use a sew-on button foot (part number 412934545),
available as an optional accessory at your local authorized
HUSQVARNA VIKING® retailer.
Note: The pre-set width of 3mm is recommended for most buttons.
When sewing a tiny button or a very large coat button, decrease or
increase the stitch width until the swing of the needle matches the holes of
the button.
3. 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. The set number of stitches is
indicated on the display. 8 stitches is default.
4. Press the foot control. The sewing machine will sew the
set number of stitches and then tie off and stop.
5. Raise feed teeth when button sewing is completed.
Tip: Place the thin end of the multipurpose tool under the button when
sewing on light fabrics. Use the thick end for heavier fabrics. Hold in
place on the fabric with transparent tape.
