Nail Button Pressing Foot

A Nail Button Pressing Foot, also known as a Nail Button Sewing Foot, is a specialized presser foot used in sewing machines for attaching nail buttons or jean buttons to fabric. Nail buttons are often used in denim and similar heavy fabrics, such as on jeans or denim jackets. The nail button pressing foot assists in securing these buttons firmly in place. Here's how it works and some key features:

Usage:

Button Attachment: The primary purpose of a Nail Button Pressing Foot is to attach nail buttons securely to fabric. Nail buttons have a prong or nail on the back that needs to be bent to grip the fabric. The presser foot helps hold the button in place while sewing and ensures that the nail is bent properly.

Features:

Clamping Mechanism: The foot usually has a clamping or holding mechanism that keeps the nail button in place during the sewing process.

Guide Hole: There is often a guide hole or groove on the foot that allows the nail to pass through without damaging the fabric.

Secure Attachment: This foot ensures that nail buttons are securely and neatly attached to the fabric, preventing them from coming loose.

How to Use a Nail Button Pressing Foot:

Attach the Nail Button Pressing Foot to your sewing machine following your machine's instructions.

Place the nail button on the fabric where you want it to be attached.

Position the fabric with the nail button under the presser foot, aligning the nail button with the guide hole or groove on the foot.

Lower the presser foot, which will hold the nail button securely in place.

Start sewing, allowing the machine to stitch over the nail button while securing it in position.

The machine's needle will pierce the fabric and pass through the hole or groove in the presser foot, allowing the nail to bend as the machine continues to stitch.

Sew a few back-and-forth stitches to ensure the nail is securely bent, and then lift the presser foot and remove the fabric with the attached button.

Nail Button Pressing Feet is particularly handy for adding sturdy buttons to denim and other heavy fabrics. Ensure that the foot is compatible with your sewing machine model, as presser foot designs can vary between machines.
