bartack stitches, then stop.

buttonhole the same length as the left side and stop
the machine.

bartack stitches, then stop.
F. Raise the presser foot and draw out the fabric, cut
both top thread and bobbin thread leaving about
10cm of thread ends, and tie it on the wrong side of
the fabric.
G. Cut open the buttonhole with seam ripper.

Helpful hint:
1. Before buttonhole stitching, trial sewing on other cloth.
2. For thin fabric, add lining paper under the fabric.
3. Do not sew buttonhole on elastic fabric.
4. Please increase the density of the buttonhole by repeating on
the same area.
Sewing over the first buttonhole will give you a more rigid
buttonhole.
