Memo

●We recommend that you practice making a buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before you try it on the actual garment.

●When making buttonholes on soft fabrics, place stabilizer material on the underside of the fabric.

Making a buttonhole is a simple process that provides reliable results.

■Making a Buttonhole

1Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.

2Attach the buttonhole foot and set the pattern selection dial to " ".

3You need to sew the front bar tack first. Lower the presser foot to align the marks on the foot with the mark on the fabric.
