8 Button stitch foot
Button stitch foot is used to easily attach buttons whether they are 2 hole or 4 hole buttons. It holds the button
securely in place while a zigzag stitch is used to attach the button. If the machine has a drop feed lever lower
the feed dogs, if not use a feed dog cover plate over the feed dog or simply put the stitch length to zero. (Fig 15)

10 Even feed foot
The even feed foot is sometimes called the walking foot or dual feed foot. It works just like another set of feed
dogs helping to feed the fabric to the stitching area. Use this foot to prevent shifting of coat layers or shifting of
seams in fabric like velvet or corduroy. It is also used heavier material as only the feed dog is not enough to feed
the material through the needle. (Fig 17)
