Sewing buttons onto garments was one of my least favourite parts of sewing until I discovered the Button Foot with Placement Tool. Eureka! This is just the tool I needed!
This presser foot sews buttons into your garments by machine making the whole process quick and easy. The foot raises the button slightly off the fabric to give a slight thread shank to enable easy buttoning and prevent the button from being sewn too tightly to the fabric.
Hint: Press presser foot extra lift if available on your machine to make attaching the presser foot easier.
Instructions for use:
Thread with matching sewing thread on top and in the bobbin. Snap-on the Button Foot.
Slide the Retractable Thread Shank Guide into the desired position. All the way back will give you no thread shank. The first position will give you a shorter shank for lightweight fabrics. The second position (all the way forward) will give you a longer thread shank for heavier fabrics.
For a button smaller than 1/4” (6 mm), use the Placement Tool. Insert the Button Placement Tool into the holes of the button. Note: Avoid using a button higher than ⅛" (3 mm).
Insert the Button Placement Tool with the button in place into the slot in the foot. The button will automatically be placed in the correct position for sewing.
Remove the Button Placement Tool.
Select “Button Sewing” on your SEWING ADVISOR™ feature. Adjust the Stitch Width if necessary. according to the width between the holes in the button.
Sew on your button following the instructions in your User’s Guide.
The Button Foot with Placement Tool part number is H4129345-45 and suitable for all models 1-9*.
