17. Adjust the stitch width, and turn the handwheel
to check if the needle enters into each hole in the
button. Lower the foot to hold the button in place.
The holes in the button should align with the slot of
the foot.

to you first and then slide the button so the needle
aligns with the remaining holes (Figure 3). Stitch
several times.
19. Repeat this process until all the buttons on the legs
are secure. Remember to raise the feed dog after
sewing.

the length of the pocket plus 1". Fold the ends of
the ribbon under and glue or fuse (following the
manufacturer's instructions) the ribbon to the top of
the back pockets.
