Note
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole foot
backward as far as possible, making sure that there
is no gap behind the part of the foot marked “A”, as
shown in the illustration. If the buttonhole foot is not
slid back as far as possible, the darning will not be
sewn at the correct size.
• Pass the thread under the presser foot.
