STANDARD BUTTONHOLE (MODEL ONYX 15)

The fabric should be interfaced and/or stabilized where
buttonholes are to be sewn. It is suggested to hold fabric
slightly when sewing buttonholes.
Prepare the Buttonhole
Measure diameter and thickness of the button and add 3mm
(1/8") for bartacks to obtain correct buttonhole length. Mark
the start position and buttonhole length on the fabric (A).
Attach the Buttonhole foot C.
Place the fabric under the foot, so that the marking on the
buttonhole foot (B) aligns with start position (A) on fabric.
Lower the foot, so that the buttonhole center line marked on
the fabric aligns with the center of the buttonhole foot (B).
