General notes

The buttonhole automat of the class 580 is equipped with a
programmable control.

Up to 50 different buttonholes can be defined.

The buttonholes can be memorized in up to 25 sequences.

One sequence can consist of up to 9 different buttonhole, each single
buttonhole can be repeated within one sequence up to 9 times
successively.

When sewing the operator has the option to change automatically or
manually between the programmed buttonholes.

Among the following buttonhole types can be chosen:

Buttonholes with taper tack

Buttonholes with round tack

Buttonholes with cross tack

Buttonholes without tack

Stitched eyelets

For all types of buttonholes the relevant characteristics of the
buttonhole e. g. buttonhole length and eye shape can be programmed
(see the chapter “Buttonhole programming”).

Attention!

Not all the different buttonhole types can be accomplished with each
subclass and sewing equipment.
