Mark two lines perpendicular to the fold, spaced about 2” apart.

aligning the fold with the

” marking behind the foot.
Position the needle on the second line. Stitch another straight
stitch buttonhole -
do not remove fabric.
Select the Standard Buttonhole - sew this buttonhole (the same
length as the straight stitch buttonhole) directly on top of the
straight stitch buttonhole.
Notes:
- Straight stitch buttonholes can be used to pre-sew and rein-
force buttonholes on fabrics that fray easily. The buttonhole
beads and bartacks will cover the stitching. Any method for
determining buttonhole length can be used.
- Straight stitch buttonholes can be used as buttonholes on
imitation suede and leather.
- The distance between the prestitched lines can be adjusted
with the stitch width. The stitch length can also be adjusted
to suit the fabric.
