. Place the fabric, with the buttonhole

marked, under the buttonhole foot. Without lowering the foot, let the needle pierce the fabric at the beginning of the buttonhole. Pull the foot all the way forward so that the index mark (A) is aligned with the graduation (B). Lower the foot. (Reproduction of the identical size buttonholes is facilitated with the aid

of the graduations cn the left side of the buttonhole foot. These gradua- tions are 1/8" apart. Graduations act as reference mark.)

. W_th the buttonhole control at F, stitch forward until you approach the front marking of your buttonhole.
