NOTE:
• To sew the buttonholes 12 to 14, follow the same
procedure as buttonhole 11.
• The buttonhole size is automatically set by placing
a button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R.
• The button holder of the foot takes a button size of
up to 1˝ (2.5 cm) in diameter.
• It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole
size to match certain heavy or specific materials
and threads.
• Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the
fabric to check your setting.
• Place the button on the fabric and mark the top and
bottom to determine the position of the buttonhole
on the fabric.
• Use interfacing on stretch fabrics.
