Buttonholes
On the buttonhole overview to the right,
you can see which buttonholes that are
available on your machine. Select the
bartack style for most buttonhole sewing
and the round end buttonhole for light
weight fabrics.
To sew buttonholes we recommend the
buttonhole foot. The buttonhole foot
has a slide that is adjustable for different
sizes of buttons. Put the button on the
foot and push the slide together as far
as it will go. The machine sews the fi rst
column in reverse. Stop the machine
when the red mark on the slide has
reached the beginning of the stitching.
Use the markings on the left toe of the
buttonhole foot to position the garment
edge. Place the edge of the garment at
the middle mark to have 5/8" (15 mm)
from the edge to the buttonhole.
When sewing buttonholes in stretch
fabrics we recommend cording the
buttonhole to increase the stability and
to keep the buttonhole from stretching
out. For a corded buttonhole loop a
piece of heavy thread around the fi nger
at the back of the buttonhole foot as
illustrated.
Bartack buttonhole for most fabric
weights.
Round End Buttonhole for light
weight fabrics.
