Button sewing
Buttons can be sewn on with the machine. Buttons with two
or with four holes can be attached.
a
Measure the distance between the holes in the button
to be attached.
b
Raise the presser foot lever, and then slide the feed dog
position switch, located at the rear of the machine on
the base, to (to the left as seen from the rear of
the machine).
The feed dogs are lowered.
c
Attach button fitting foot “M”.
d
Select a stitch.
• For details, refer to “Stitch Chart” on page 33.
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.
h
Sew about 10 stitches at a slow speed.
Set the sewing speed controller to the left (so that the
speed will be slow).
