With a sewing machine
01 Place buttonfoot
Attach the button foot. Lower the feed dogs so the fabric isn’t pulled back when you begin sewing. Set the stitch to a zigzag at zero length. Place the button under the foot, and lower it to hold the button tight.
03 Adjust stitch for the holes
Continue turning the handwheel to raise the needle and lower it down into the other hole. Make adjustments in the stitch width until the needle can go into both holes without hitting the button.
02 Lower needle into hole
Turn the handwheel on the side of the machine to lower the needle into the first hole. The needle should not hit the button at all.
04 Make it secure
Sew back and forth several times to hold the button securely in place. Cut the threads, and remove the fabric from the machine. Pull the top thread through to the bottom side and tie it in a knot. Sewing for Beginners 87
