NOTE:
1. It is recommended to practice making a buttonhole on a scrap
piece of fabric before attempting it on the actual garment.
2. When making buttonholes on soft fabrics, place a stabilizer
material on the underside of the fabric.
One-step buttonhole-making is a simple process that provides
reliable results.
MAKING A BUTTONHOLE
1. Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position of the buttonhole on the
fabric.
2. Set the Pattern Selection Dial to Buttonhole.
3. Attach the buttonhole foot, pull open the button holder and insert
a button. (See fig. B)
* The size of the buttonhole is determined by the button inserted
into the button holder.
4. Align the red line on the presser foot with the mark on the fabric,
then lower the Presser Foot Lever. Be sure to pass the thread
under the presser foot and pull it toward you. (See fig. C)
NOTE:
Do not lower the Presser Foot Lever while pushing in the area of the
presser foot marked a in fig.C. Otherwise the buttonhole will not
be sewn with the correct size.
1 Do not close this gap.(Fig.A)
2 Align the lines on the presser foot.
5. Pull down the buttonhole lever to its lowest position, then lightly
push it toward the back of the machine. (See fig. D)
