d
Select the zigzag stitch.
* Check the stitch number on the
machine’s body, and set the machine
for that stitch.
e
Adjust the stitch width so that it is the
same as the distance between the holes in
the button.
f
Place the button in the position where it
will be sewn, and lower the presser foot
lever.
• When attaching four-hole buttons, first
sew the two holes closest to you. Then,
slide the button so that the needle goes
into the two holes toward the rear of
the machine, and then sew them in the
same way.
g
Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to check that the
needle correctly goes into the two holes
of the button.
If it seems as if the needle will hit the
button, remeasure the distance between
the holes in the button. Adjust the stitch
width to the distance between the button
holes.
• When sewing, be sure that the needle
does not touch the button, otherwise
the needle may bend or break.
