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.
Note
Be careful not to cut the stitches with the seam ripper.
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.
