Before sewing a buttonhole on your
project, practice on a scrap piece of the
same type of fabric.
- Measure the diameter and thickness of the
button and add 3mm (1/8") for bartacks
in order to obtain the correct buttonhole
length; mark the buttonhole size on the
fabric.
- Place the fabric under the foot, so that the
marking on the buttonhole foot aligns with
starting marking on fabric. Lower the foot
so that the buttonhole center line marked
on the fabric aligns with the center of the

buttonhole foot.
Follow the 4-step sequence changing from
one step to another with the pattern selector
dial. When moving step by step through the
buttonhole process, be sure that the needle
is raised before turning the pattern selector
dial to the next step. Take care not to sew
too many stitches in steps 2 and 4. Use the
seam ripper and cut the buttonhole open
from both ends towards the middle.
Tips :
- Slightly reduce the upper thread tension
to produce better results.
- Use a backing for fine or stretchy fabrics.
- It is advisable to use heavy thread or cord
for stretch or knit fabrics.
