Note

•Pass the thread underneath the presser foot.

•Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole foot backward as far as possible as shown in the illustration, making sure that there is no gap behind the part of the foot marked “A”. If the buttonhole foot is not slid back as far as possible, the buttonhole will not be sewn at the correct size.

eLower the buttonhole lever so that it is positioned behind the metal bracket on the buttonhole foot.

fGently hold the end of the upper thread, and then start sewing.

*Feed the fabric carefully by hand while the buttonhole is sewn.

→Once sewing is completed, the machine automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then stops.

Memo

If automatic thread cutting is turned on before you start sewing, both threads are automati- cally cut after the reinforcement stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed (for example, because it is too thick), increase the stitch length setting.

gInsert a pin along the inside of one of the bar tacks, and then insert the seam ripper into the center of the buttonhole and cut towards the pin.
