*To find the most suitable stitch length, it is better to sew a sample buttonhole on a piece of waste fabric.
*When sewing very fine fabrics and synthetics, de- crease the pressure of foot and sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn dis- tortion.
*The mark on the stitch length dial shows a range of
buttonhole sewing. An adjustment can be made by setting the mark, as shown.
*Buttonhole stitch length is adjustable only on one side.
