Button Foot with Placement Tool
Use the Button Foot with Placement Tool to quickly and easily attach any size button by machine. This presser foot provides perfect placement with or without a thread shank.
The advantage to using this foot is that it will hold the button firmly and perfectly in place. No more holding it by hand or using tape that can get caught in the threads.
When to use the Button Foot with Placement Tool:
- Any time you want to add buttons to any project or replace buttons that fell off of clothing.
How to attach and begin using the Button Foot:
1.Thread the machine with matching sewing thread on the top and in the bobbin. Snap on the Button Foot.
2. Slide the Retractable Thread Shank Guide in the desired position.
- All the way back will give you no thread shank and will stitch the button closely to the fabric.
- The first position will give you a shorter shank for light weight fabrics.
- The second position (All the way forward) will give you a longer shank for heavier fabrics.
3. Insert the placement tool in the holes of the button. squeeze gently as you place the button all the way back into the slot on the button foot (between the white part and the flat metal spring) .
4. While still holding the button with the placement tool, lower the presser foot onto the fabric. Remove the placement tool by lifting it straight up.
5. Select button sewing on your Sewing Advisor. Adjust the Stitch Width, if necessary, to the width between the holes in the button. Sew on your button following the instructions in your User's Guide for your machine.
Note: Most buttons have the same width between the holes and need no adjusting. Larger or smaller buttons may need adjusting.
6. Continue with steps 3 & 4 for sewing additional buttons.
