LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE BALANCE FOR BUTTONHOLE

6WLWFKGHQVLW\RQULJKWDQGOHIW

sides of buttonhole can be 
adjusted with the buttonhole 
balance control dial near the 
handwheel.
This dial should usually be in a 
neutral position (b and -).
If the stitches on the left side of the 
buttonhole are too close together, 
turn the dial to the left (+). Turning 
dial to the left makes zigzag 
stitches in the left column further 
apart.
If the stitches on the left side of the 
buttonhole are too open, turn the 
dial to the right (-). Turning dial to 
the right brings the zigzag stitches 
on the left side closer together 
(more dense).
The stitch on the right side of the 
buttonhole is set using the stitch 
length dial.

2.  Hook the heavy thread onto the back of the buttonhole foot, then bring the two heavy 

thread ends to the front of the foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie 
them there. 

3.  Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
