foot (e). Adjust the stitch length dial (5) to between
"0.5" - "1". The density of the stitch depends on
thickness of the fabric.
Note:
Always test sew a buttonhole.
To prepare the fabric:
Measure the diameter of the button and add 0.3cm
(1/8") for the bartacks. If you have a very thick button,
add more to the diameter measurement. Mark the
position and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
Raise the needle to its highest position.
Position the fabric so that the needle is on the mark
that is furthest from you.
Push the buttonhole foot (e) towards you as far as it
will go. Lower the foot.

sew 5-6 bar tack stitches. Raise the needle to its
highest position.

the right side of the buttonhole to the mark at the

its highest position.

a few bar tack stitches. Raise the needle to its
highest position.
Lift the foot. Remove the fabric from under the foot
and separate the threads. Draw the upper thread
through the fabric to the ear and knot the upper
and lower threads. Cut the centre of the buttonhole
with the stitch ripper (n), being careful not to cut the
stitches on either side.
Note:
- Slightly reduce upper thread tension (3) to produce
better results.
- You should use stabilizer material such as yarn
or fleece for fine, stretchy or knitted fabrics. The
zigzag stitch should be sewn over the yarn (E).
