Blind stitch for elastic fabrics.
1. Fold the fabric as illustrated with the left
side uppermost.
2. Place the reversed fabric under the
3
presser foot. Turn the handwheel (20)
forwards by hand until the needle is fully
to the left. It should just pierce the fold of
the fabric. If it does not, adjust the stitch
width accordingly.
3/4. Adjust the guide (3) by turning the dial
(4) so that the guide just rests against
the fold.
Sew slowly and guide the fabric carefully so
that its position does not change in relation
to the guide.

Install the embroidery and darning plate (o).
Position the work under the foot. Place the
button on the marked position, lower the
presser foot, adjust stitch width to "0" and
first sew a few securing stitches in the left
hole. Adjust the stitch width (usually
between 3 and 4). Sew some check
stitches with the handwheel (20) until the
needle goes cleanly into the right hole of
the button (vary the stitch width depending
on the button) and sew on the button.
Adjust the stitch width to "0" and sew a few
securing stitches.
If a shank is required, place a darning
needle on top of the button and sew. For
buttons with 4 holes, sew through the front
two holes first, push the work forward and
then sew through the back two holes as
described.
