or darning threads are ideal.

either with a magic pen or dress pin, and

Note: Before starting any buttonhole, always
push the guide of the buttonhole foot fully to
the front, i.e. so that the red arrow is at the
rst red mark. The red marks are arranged at
an interval of 0.5 cm. They are a guide when
determining the length of the buttonhole.
