Corded Buttonhole
1Use the same procedure as the automatic buttonhole procedure.
* Set the stitch width to match the thickness of the cord used.
With the buttonhole foot raised, hook the filler cord on the spur at the back of the buttonhole foot.
Bring the ends toward you under the buttonhole foot, clearing the front end.
Hook the filler cord into the forks 2 on the front of the automatic buttonhole foot [R] to hold them tight.
Lower the needle into the garment where the buttonhole will start, and lower the foot.

Depress the foot control gently, and sew the buttonhole. Each side of the buttonhole and the bartacks will be sewn over the cord.
Remove the fabric from the machine, and cut the sewing threads only.
