Stretch buttonholes are particularly effective on all knit
fabrics because the double overlock stitch used for the
beads stretch with the fabric while keeping its shape.
Note: The automatic buttonhole foot 3A must lie
perfectly flat on the fabric. If the foot lies on a seam,
the length cannot be measured accurately.

TIPS
☞
Exact duplicates
· the auto function ensures
that each buttonhole will
be exactly the same
length as the previous
one
Marking
· mark only the beginning
of the buttonholes – a
real time saver!
Sewing speed
· sew at moderate speed
for best results
· sew all buttonholes at
the same speed for a
consistent bead density
