Sewing On Buttons - Viking Turissa Operating & Service Manual

Sewing on buttons
To sew on buttons, turn the outer scale on the
Program Selector so that number 3 in left needle
position is in the red window. Align the symbol
on the handle with the window. Lower the
feed dog. Use normal thread tension.
Remove the presser foot, put the button in
place and lower the presser bar. Set the Stitch
Width Selector to a suitable setting--about 3;
most buttons have a spacing of 1/8"
-
1/6"
(3
-
4 mm) between the holes--turn the hand
wheel towards you and test carefully that the
needle goes through the center of first one
hole and then the other. Depress the foot
control without disturbing the position of the
button. Hold both thread ends behind the
machine and sew 5
-
6 stitches. Then move to
the other holes and repeat the process if using
four-hole buttons. Set the Stitch Width Se
lector to 0 and lock the thread.
When the button has been sewn on, remember
to raise the feed dog.
