r Feed dog:
Drop the feed dogs. Match the holes in the
button with the horizontal slot on the presser
foot. Choose a pattern width matching the
distance of the holes in the button. Lower the
foot to hold the button in place. Check to see if
the needle enters into the holes in 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 in 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.
