Note

●If buttonhole sewing was interrupted, sew trial stitching one or two times on a scrap piece of fabric before continuing to sew the project. Stitching that is continued after being interrupted may be sewn incorrectly.

●If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric does not feed, sew with the coarser (longer) stitch.
