Sewing Techniques
Multi-Step Zigzag Stitch
Stich number 03 can be used to overcast raw edges.
Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side
and overcasts the edge on the right side.
Stich number 03 can also be used as an elastic stitch to
allow seams to stretch when sewing knit fabrics.
Buttonholes
Your machine’s buttonholes are specially adjusted for
different kinds of fabric and garments.
The fabric should be interfaced and/or stabilized where
buttonholes are to be sewn.
One Step Buttonhole Foot 5B
1. Mark the the position of the buttonhole on your
garment.
2. Attach Buttonhole Foot 5B and pull out the button
holder plate. Insert the button. The button will
determine the length of the buttonhole.
3. Make sure that the thread is pulled though the hole
in the presser foot and placed under the foot.
4. Select the buttonhole you want to sew and adjust
the length as desired.
Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a scrap piece of
fabric.
5. Position your garment under the presser foot so that
the marking on the fabric is aligned with the center
of the Buttonhole Foot.
6. Lower the Buttonhole Lever all the way down, and
push it away from you.
7. Hold the end of the upper thread and start sewing.
The buttonholes are sewn from the front of the
presser foot to the back.
8. Once the machine has sewn the buttonhole, raise the
presser foot.
