Buttonholes – Important Information
Thread Tension
•
the tension is set automatically when a buttonhole is selected
•
the upper tension is slightly looser than normal
•
this gives a slightly rounded appearance to the beads, making the buttonhole more attractive
Balance for Buttonholes
Note:
With Direct Entry Length and Manual buttonholes each individual buttonhole sequence can
be balanced separately.
With the Stitch Counter buttonholes any Balance alteration affects both beads differently
(left and right): by adjusting the beads the keyhole or eye will be altered as well.
