Attaching a shank to a button

To sew the button with a shank, attach the button 
with space between it and the fabric, and then 
wind the thread by hand. This attaches the button 
securely.

1

Place the button into button-sewing foot “M”, 
and then pull the shank lever toward you.

After sewing is finished, cut the upper thread 
with plenty of excess, wind it around the 
thread between the button and the fabric, and 
then tie it to the upper thread at the beginning 
of the stitching.

Tie together the ends of the bobbin thread at 
the end and at the beginning of the stitching at 
the wrong side of the fabric.

Cut off any excess thread.
