7. Drawer
This drawer is an accessory storage compartment, which can be slid out and you can store spare bobbins,
needles, etc. in it.
SEWING A BUTTON
1. Put the button on the fabric, keeping the buttonhole in align with the needle exactly. Lay down the presser
foot.
2. Select stitch 04 / 05 / 06, which depends on the inside length of the buttonhole (normally we select 05),
and turn the stitch density dial to the position E. Turn the hand wheel slowly to see if the needle runs
properly through the holes of the button from left to right. Operate carefully to avoid damage to the
needle or button.
3. Guide the thread through the needle correctly before starting to sew a button. Turn on and use the foot
pedal to sew the button slowly. (Fig. 24)
4. Sewing about 5-6 stitches is enough for one button. If the button has four holes, you can change to the
other 2 holes when having finished sewing one side. (Fig. 25)
Note: The metal foot presser may slip, so it's recommended to use the presser foot for button sewing. (Fig.26)
