Buttonhole lever

Bracket

Gently hold the end of the upper thread in
your left hand, and then start sewing.

Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches,
then stops.

Cut the threads, raise the presser foot lever,
and then remove the fabric.

Raise the buttonhole lever to its original
position.

Memo

If the fabric does not feed, for example,
because it is too thick, increase the stitch
length. For details, refer to "Adjusting the
stitch length" (page 56).
