Eyelet buttonholes
are often
sewn in outerwear,
such as
jackets,
coats
or
leisure
wear. They
should always
be sewn with backing
material
underneath. However,
a piece
of paper should
also
be
placed underneath
during
sewing.
The buttonhole
must
be 3mm longer
than the dia
meter of the button,
plus
its height. The
distance
from the front should be
equal to the buttonhole
width.
First
mark the
spacings and
the
distance
from
the
edge. Mark
the buttonhole length
from this point
to
the
inside. Then
always
sew
from the inside
towards
the
edge.
Nine button-hole
lengths are stored in
the com
puter:
16,
18,
20, 22, 24, 26, 28,
30, 32 mm.
Upon
program selection, a zigzag
stitch width
of
6 mm
appears
in the display. Select
the required
length for the
buttonhole with
stitch length key
125.
The machine
sews the
selected buttonhole
automatically.
Correction of a
buttonhole
It
a
buttonhole does not turn
out correctly,
it can
be
cancelled
by
selecting another
program.
Select the
buttonhole
again.
