d.Line up your fabric edge with the measurement markings on the guide

plate just in front of the buttonhole foot as shown.

e.Pierce the fabric with the needle at the beginning of the buttonhole.

NOTE:	If you want your	buttonhole	to be	1/2 inch	from	the garment edge,
	line up the fabric with the 1/2 inch markings each time you start to sew
	a buttonhole.
	We recommended	the use of	interfacing	when	making	buttonholes.
	If the fabric does not feed smoothly from the start, increase the stitch
	length.

5. a. Lower the buttonhole foot.

b.Start sewing slowly.

c.Allow the machine to do the work by itself. (Do not try to guide the fabric.)

d.Stop sewing when the needle returns to the position where it begins.
