Button
reed
When
sewing
buttons on garments,
a
"stem"
is
often
desired so
that
the
button
stands
slightly
away
from
the fabric. You
can use
the button
rced
(41

for this. Use the thin
end when sewing buttons
on
thin
fabrics,
the thick
end
for
heavier fabrics-
Mark
the place where the button
is to be
sewn
on
and
place
the garment under the bracket without lower-
ing the
presser
bar. Insert the button
reed as shown
in
the illustration, with the marking
in
the
center
of
the
opening. Place
the button on top and
lower
the presser bar.
