Attaching 4 Hole Buttons

Sew the two holes closest to you. Then raise the 
presser foot and move the fabric so that the needle 
goes into the next two holes, and sew them in the 
same way.

between the button and the fabric, wind 
them around the shank, and then tie them

beginning and end of sewing together on 
the wrong side of the fabric.

feed dogs.
