4.a. Mark your buttonhole position carefully on the garment.

b.Placing your garment behind the machine, insert it between the guide plate and the buttc,-_hole foot as shown.

C.Align marked buttonhole with center marking on buttonhole foot.

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.

To release the buttonhole base plate, pull the lever toward you and lift the base plate off the machine.
