SEWING THE STITCHES

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

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

*If the automatic thread cutting setting is selected before sewing, the machine will automatically cut the thread at the end of stitching.

→A buttonhole starts to sew from the front of the presser foot to the back.

Note

•If the fabric does not feed, for example, because it is

too thick, press in the length display to increase the stitch length.

•When sewing is finished, raise the buttonhole lever to its original position.

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

Note

CAUTION

•When using the seam ripper to open the buttonhole, do not put your hand or finger in the path of the ripper. The ripper may slip and cause injury.

For keyhole buttonholes, use the included eyelet punch to make a hole in the rounded end of the buttonhole. Then, insert a pin along the inside of the bar tack, insert a seam ripper into the hole made with the eyelet punch, and then cut towards the pin.
