• 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 sewing machine,
and then sew them in the same way.
h
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.
●
When sewing, be sure that the needle does not
touch the button, otherwise the needle may
bend or break.
