Buttonholes
Sewing
buttonholes
is
very
easy
with
all
the
models
with
pushbutton
controls
since
the
fabric
does
not
have
to
be
turned.
Buttonholes
are
generally
sewn
onto
a
piece
of
doubled
fabric.
However,
for
some
materials,
e.g.
silk,
organza
and
viscose,
it
is
necessary
to
use
stabilizer
to
prevent
the
material
from
contracting
while
sewing.
To produce
beautiful
seams,
embroidering
or darning
threads
are
ideally
suited
to
this
purpose.
Mark
the
starting
point
of
the
buttonhole
either
with
a
magic
pen
or dress
pin,
and
always
sew
a sample
buttonhole
first.
Note:
Before
starting
any
buttonhole,
always
push
the
guide
of
the
buttonhole
foot
fully
to
the
front,
i.e.
so
that
the
red
arrow
is
at the
first
red
mark.
The
red
marks
are
arranged
at
an
interval
of
0.5
cm.
They
are
a
guide
when
determining
the
length
of
the
buttonhole.
