cHold the outside frame of the buttonhole foot toward the back with your finger, and then lower the presser foot so that it aligns with the area to be darned.

Note

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

•Pass the thread under the presser foot.
