Memo/Recuerde

●We recommend that you practice making a buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before you try it on an actual garment.

●When making buttonholes on soft fabrics, place a stabilizer material on the underside of the fabric.

●Es aconsejable que practique la realización de ojales en una retal de prueba antes de intentarlo en la prenda real.

●Para realizar ojales en telas suaves, coloque un material estabilizador debajo de la tela.

1Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.

Con un trozo de tiza, marque en la tela la posición y la longitud del ojal.

2Attach the buttonhole foot and push the frame back until it stops with the plastic insert at the front of the frame.

Coloque el pie para ojales y empuje el bastidor hacia atrás hasta que haga tope con la pieza de plástico situada delante del bastidor.

CAUTION/PRECAUCIÓN

●If the presser foot is not installed with the correct orientation, the needle may strike the presser foot, which may bend or break the needle and cause injury. (See page 18 for the correct presser foot orientation.)

●Si el pie prensatela no está colocado con la orientación correcta, la aguja puede golpearlo y doblarse o romperse, y podría causar lesiones. (Consulte la página 18 para la orientación correcta del pie prensatela).

3You need to sew the front bar tack first. Line the bar tack mark under the center of the presser foot and match it up to the two lines on the presser foot.

Primero tiene que coser la barra de remate delantera. Alinee la marca de la barra de remate debajo del centro del pie prensatela y hágala coincidir con las dos líneas del pie prensatela.
