Step 1: Choose the right automatic button
Before you can begin attaching automatic buttons, you need to select the right ones for your garments. Automatic buttons come in various sizes, colors, and designs. Ensure the buttons you choose match the fabric and style of your clothes.
Step 2: Prepare your machine
Once you have your buttons ready, it’s time to set up your automatic button sewing machine. Consult the machine’s manual for specific instructions on how to thread the machine and attach the appropriate foot for button sewing.
Step 3: Mark the button placement
Using a fabric marker or chalk, mark the exact spots where you want your buttons to be attached on your garments. Ensure the marks are accurate and evenly spaced.
Step 4: Insert the fabric
Place your garment under the sewing machine’s presser foot, aligning the marked button placement with the needle. Make sure the fabric is securely positioned and won’t shift during the sewing process.

Engage the machine’s automatic button sewing function and let it do its magic! The machine will sew each button onto the fabric, ensuring a secure and professional finish. Repeat this step for each button placement mark you made.
Step 6: Finishing touches
Once all the buttons are attached, remove any extra threads and give your garments a final once-over. Make sure the buttons are firmly attached and the fabric is undamaged. Trim any excess threads if necessary.
