Button-Sewing Machine
My invention relates to button-sewing machines, so called and has for its object to adapt a machine of the kind mentioned to sewing on a four-hole button with either a cross or parallel-bar stitch, as well as to sewing on bar and two-hole buttons and to provide a construction whereby the machine may be readily changed from one kind of work to another and set to perform the work it is desired that it shall do. My invention consists in improvements for operating and controlling the operations of the button-holder, so as to present the button in proper position to the needle. My invention also consists in improvements incidental to the foregoing.

Button-Sewing Machine
This invention has reference to improvements in button-sewing machines and relates particularly to improvements in the means for supporting the cloth or other material to which the button is to be sewed and to the means for supporting the button independently of said cloth or material. The object of the invention is to so move the button with reference to the cloth or material to which the button is to be sewed that a portion of the thread delivered by the first downward movement of the needle will be nipped or held between the button and said cloth or material.
