(_) Feed dogs:
Dropped
Drop the feed dogs. Match the holes on a button with the
horizontal slot on the presser foot [ A] . Adjust stitch width
matching the distance of the holes on the button. Lower the
foot to hold the button in place. Check to see if the needle
enters into the holes on the button by turning the
handwheel by hand. Sew about ten (10) stitches.
To strengthen the shank, cut the threads leaving about 4"
(10.0 cm). Bring the needle thread down through one of the
holes on the button and wind it around the shank. Bring the
needle thread to the wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric and
knot. After button sewing is completed, raise the feed dogs
for normal sewing.

NOTE:
1
Set the stitch width 5.0 to 6.5 when the overedge foot [ C]I
is used to prevent needle breakage or damaging the foot.
This is useful in garment construction and in finishing raw
edges of any sewing project.
Start overcasting about 1/8"(0.3 cm) inside the raw corner
of a seam. If you start right at the edge, the fabric bunches
up and the stitches become tangled.
