Drop the feed dogs. Match the holes in a button
with the horizontal slot on the Presser foot.
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 4.0˝ (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) and knot.
After button sewing is completed, raise the feed
dogs for normal sewing.
