Abstract

The device is designed for sewing buttons (28) using common household sewing machines. To simplify button sewing with household sewing machines, the invention proposes a button-sewing foot (10) which can be snapped into the pressure-foot holder (14) of the sewing machine. By means of retaining elements (26, 30) the button (28) can be pressed against the button-sewing foot (10) in such fashion that, independent of the position of the latter, the needle of the sewing machine can be aligned with a given button perforation (32).
