This is a very inexpensive machine, only $120 on Amazon, and the manual is
weak.
I'm teaching myself to do some work and having a hard time. It doesn't
work very well when I freehand attaching straps to fabric - can't make the
fabric feed sideways. Is making multiple "buttonholes" a good technique
to form a durable connection?
The material is denim or "duck" and the straps are nylon tubes so it means
going through 2 layers of each.
Would an embroidery foot enable me to feed the material from the left,
right as well as front and back?

Or
Not an appropriate machine for that work at all.
If anything I would try the 3 stepo zigzag on a very short stitch length.
But that is way to heavy work for a machine like that.,
