1.To secure the stitching, turn the material 90 degrees counterclockwise and sew Straight Stitches (2) to the end of the front bar tack of the buttonhole.

2.Remove the material from the machine. It is recommended that pins be placed across both ends of the buttonhole as protection against cut- ting the stitches.
