Unthread the needle. Adjust the stitch width to
match it with the span of the holes in the button.
Turn the handwheel to check if the needle enters
into each hole in the button.
Lower the foot to hold the button in place.
The holes in the button should align with the slot
of the foot.
A pin can be placed on the foot to form a shank.
Make sure to check if the needle enters into both
holes in the button.
q Pin
Re-thread the needle and sew about 10 stitches
and cut the needle and bobbin threads at the
beginning.
Raise the presser foot and remove the pin.
Remove the fabric from the machine. Cut the
needle and bobbin threads leaving 8" (20 cm)
tails.
Bring the needle thread between the button and
fabric through the holes in the button.
Pull the needle thread to pick bobbin thread up
to the right side of the fabric.
Wind the threads to form a shank and tie them
together.
