Your
machine
has
a
built-in
button
holer —
just dial
the
stitch
pattern
knob
for
the
four steps
in
stitching
a•
buttonhole.
•
Mark
position
and
length
of
button
hole
on
fabric.
Length
of
the
hole
is
determined
by the
width
plus
thickness
of
the
button.
The
finished
buttonhole
should be
3mm
longer
than
this
measurement
to
allow for
bar
tacks at
each
end.
• Attach
buttonhole
foot
which
is
designed
to
ride
easily
over the
buttonhole
stitching.
•
Loosen
upper tension.
• When sewing
buttonholes on
knits
or
loosely
woven
fabrics,
use
a
piece
of
interfacing
between
fabric and
facing
so
buttonhole
will
retain
its
shape.
• Guide
fabric carefully
so
lines
of
stitching
will
be
straight
and
close
together,
but
not
touching.
•
Cut
buttonhole open using
em
broidery
scissors
or
seam
ripper,
being
careful
not
to
cut
stitching
on
either side. Place
a
pin
across
each
end
of
buttonhole
to
protect
end
stitching.
•
Always
make a
sample
buttonhole
using the
same
fabric before
stitch
ing
on
your
garment.
Try
slipping
the
button
you will
use
through
the
buttonhole
to
check the
correct
length of
the
hole.
