UTILITY GARMENT SEWING MANUAL BUTTONHOLE FOOT #25
0035496 M/C Code: MA, MB, CB Sewing a 4-step buttonhole is as easy as 1-2-3 and 4! Just mark, sew, and cut. It is recommended that you use a fabric interfacing between fabric layers and a temporary stabilizer under the fabric so that the fabric and stitches have good support and don’t pucker. Check your instruction manual for specific details on your machine model. 1. Snap on the 4-step Buttonhole Foot. 2. Mark the length and position of the desired buttonhole on your fabric with a marking pencil. 3. Using the Stitch Selector Guide on the machine and adjusting the setting through steps one to four, the buttonhole will be completed. 4. The steps include stitching bartacks at the front and back of the buttonhole and up/down each side. 5. Knot the threads when the buttonhole is complete. 6. Carefully cut open the buttonholes. 7. Note: Always do a sample on the exact fabric first. Note: Depending on the specific machine model, the sequence of steps can vary. SEW-ON BUTTON FOOT #250035496 M/C Code: MA, MB, CB The Sew-On Button Foot holds buttons in position while attaching them with the sewing machine. This saves time while securely sewing the buttons onto the fabric. This foot can also be used to sew on hook and eye closures. 1. Depending on your machine model, adjust the drop feed lever or attach the feed dog cover plate. 2. Snap-on the Sew-On Button Foot. 3. Position the button under the foot – the holes of the button should be in the blue open area of the foot. This area has a textured rubberized coating that holds the button in position. 4. Set the machine for either a Button Sew Stitch or a Zigzag Stitch on 0 length setting. 5. Slowly turn the handwheel towards you to be certain that the needle inserts in the middle of the each hole of the button. The stitch width may need to be adjusted until the needle clears the holes. 6. Make 6-8 stitches then knot by changing to the straight stitch at 0 length for 3-4 stitches, first checking to be certain that the needle clears the hole. 7. If using a four hole button, re-position the button and repeat Step 6. Note: If a shank is needed to allow for ease of buttoning, position a straight pin or toothpick under the button before stitching. 13
