SEWING BUTTONHOLES AND BUTTONS
CAUTION
Making a buttonhole
(1-step automatic
buttonhole)
Making a buttonhole is a simple process that provides
reliable results.
With the 1-step Automatic Buttonhole Stitch pattern, a
buttonhole is sewn by automatically changing the
sewing direction when the buttonhole lever and
buttonhole foot are used.
Note
●
When sewing a stitch pattern other than for
a buttonhole, do not lower, touch or move
the buttonhole lever, otherwise the stitching
may become misaligned or sewn
incorrectly.
Memo
●
We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on an actual garment.
●
When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
■
Making a buttonhole

■
If the button does not fit in the button guide
plate
Add together the diameter and thickness of the
button, and then set the button guide plate to the
calculated length. (The distance between the
markings on the presser foot scale is 5 mm (3/16
inch).)

●
Always turn off the machine before
replacing the presser foot. Otherwise,
injuries may occur if the foot controller
is accidentally pressed and the machine
starts sewing.
