How to sew a button on a machine?

Sewing on a button by machine is a quick and effective way to securely attach a button to a garment. Using a special buttonhole foot, this technique ensures a precise and durable seam. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to easily sew on a button by machine.

Check the machine settings

Most sewing machines allow you to attach a button with a special foot. Before you begin, make sure you have the right accessory and set your machine for a zigzag stitch suitable for sewing on buttons.

How to correctly position the button on the fabric?

Place the button in the desired location, mark its position and temporarily secure it with a piece of tape to prevent it from moving when sewing.

Set the machine and lower the feed dogs

Lower the feed dogs to prevent the fabric from moving while sewing. Install the special presser foot and position the button under the needle. Gently lower the needle into one of the holes in the button to check alignment.

How to sew on a zigzag button

Select a zigzag stitch or the button stitch and adjust the stitch width to match the spacing of the button holes. Stitch slowly several times to secure the button. Use a button presser foot to hold it securely.

How to finalize the seam?

Once the button is securely attached, remove the fabric from the machine. Tie a knot with the remaining threads and cut them neatly.

With this method, you can sew on buttons quickly and efficiently while ensuring a strong attachment. This technique is ideal for garments requiring fast and precise sewing. Get sewing!
