Owner's manual pg.____
• Select the Button Sew-on program (stitch #12 on the 135 PE or #13 on the 145).
• Engage the Securing function as you begin—then turn it off—engage it again as you end.
• Lower the feed dogs.
• Fold the fabric in half to 2" x 6"; press. Insert the stabilizer.
Notes: - You can sew buttons on to stay!
- A low shank can be made for dresses and blouses or a high shank
can be made for heavier fabrics such as coats and blazers.
- Use the Button Sew-On Foot #18 to sew on waistband closures,
hook-and-eye fasteners, snaps, curtain rings, and charms.
Tecnique #1
• Select stitch #12/#14; set up as above.
• Use a glue stick to position a button in place.
• Adjust the pin on Foot #18 to the highest position for a long shank.
• Check the distance between the holes of the button by turning the hand wheel.
• Adjust the stitch width if necessary.
• Hold the thread tails as you begin to sew.
Technique #2
• Using the lowest shank setting, attach a charm, a length of ribbon, and a hook-and-eye to the same
fabric.
• Trim threads close and mount the sample.
