reinforce points of strain, such as corners, pockets and
straps of lingerie.

1. Drop the feed dogs. Place the button below the zigzag
foot, making sure to align the holes with the horizontal
slot in the foot. Lower the presser foot to hold the button
in place.
2. There are a number of zigzag width settings between "2"
and "3". Determine which zigzag width setting matches
the distance between the button holes. The needle must
go safety through each hole when sewing.
Unthread the needle to help you determine the zigzag
width.
3. Thread the needle. Turn the handwheet, so that the
needle is in its leftmost position, and then drop the
needle through the left buttonhole.
4. Press the foot control and sew about 10 stitches.
5. Sew the other row of holes (if applicable) using the step
above. Trim excess threads from both sides of the fabric.
