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

With the 1-step Automatic Buttonhole Stitch pattern, a buttonhole is sewn by automatically changing the sewing direction when the buttonhole lever and buttonhole foot are used.

Note

●When sewing a stitch pattern other than for a buttonhole, do not lower, touch or move the buttonhole lever, otherwise the stitching may become misaligned or sewn incorrectly.

Memo

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

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