UTILITY STITCHES
Buttonhole stitch
Raise the presser foot and cut the thread. To sew over the same
buttonhole, raise the presser foot (it will return to its original position).
After sewing the buttonhole stitch, raise the buttonhole lever as far
as it will go.
- Buttonhole lever (1)
Use the seam ripper to cut the center of the buttonhole being careful
not to cut any stitches on either side. Use a pin as a stopper at the
bar tack so you do not cut too much
Note:
When cutting the buttonhole with the seam ripper, do not place
your hands in the cutting direction, otherwise injuries may result.
