Lower the presser foot and place the button between the fabric and the
presser foot so that the stitch hits the holes in the button, as shown in
the diagram.
Check that the button is in the correct position by turning the
handwheel. The needle must be inserted exactly into the holes of the
button to avoid damaging the needle.
Between programmes B and C there are five different stitch widths for
the different buttonhole distances.
Sew  to  stitches per hole at low speed.
For buttons with four holes, the fabric is moved with the button:  to 
stitches are then also sewn in the other holes. After removing the fabric,
place the generously cut top thread on the underside of the fabric and tie
it to the bobbin thread.
10.13.1. Sewing on butt ons with shank
A button shank is often required for heavy materials.
Place a needle or, in the case of a thicker shank, a match (A) on the
button and then proceed in exactly the same way as for sewing on a
normal button.
Remove the fabric from the machine after approx.  stitches.
Pull the needle or the match out of the fabric.
Leave the upper thread slightly longer and cut the upper thread.
Thread the upper thread through the button and wrap it around the
resulting shank a few times, then guide it to the underside of the fabric
and tie it to the bobbin thread.

Depending on which side of the zip you are sewing, the presser foot must
always rest on the fabric.
For this reason, the presser foot is attached either on the left or right side,
not in the centre like all other presser feet.
Set the presser foot and needle to the highest position to replace the
presser foot.
Pin the zip to the fabric and place the workpiece in position under the
foot.
To sew on the right-hand side of the zip, set the zipper presser foot so
that the needle sews on the left-hand side.
Sew on the right-hand side of the zip, bringing the seam as close as
possible to the teeth.
Sew the zip around . centimetres below the teeth with a bar.
To sew on the left-hand side of the zip, change the foot position on the
presser foot holder.
Sew in the same way as on the right-hand side of the zip.
Before the foot reaches the slider on the zip, lift the foot upwards and
open the zip, leaving the needle in the material.
