Sewing On Buttons - Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875 Quilt User Manual

Sewing on buttons

Sew buttons, snaps, hooks and eyes quickly with your sewing
machine.
1. Snap off the presser foot and lower the feed teeth.
2. Place the fabric, multipurpose tool/button reed 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 hand wheel to verify.
The recommended width of 3.0 is set for most
NOTE:
buttons. If you sew a tiny button or a very large coat
button, decrease (–) or increase (+) the stitch width until
the swing of the needle sews in the holes of the button.
3. Set the number of stitches to sew on the button by pressing
the up and down arrow buttons. Six to eight stitches is
normal.
4. Press the foot control. The sewing machine will sew the
number of stitches set on the display and then tie off and
stop.
5. Raise feed teeth when button sewing is completed.
Place the thin end of the multipurpose tool/button
TIP:
reed under the button when sewing on light fabrics. Use
the thick end for heavier fabrics. Hold in place on the
fabric with transparent tape.
