Tips:
1. Take off the all purpose foot and attach the buttonhole foot.
2. Measure diameter and thickness of button and add 0.3cm
(1/8") for bar tacks; mark buttonhole size on fabric. (a)
3. Place fabric under the foot, so that marking on the
buttonhole foot aligns with starting marking on fabric. Lower
the foot, so that the buttonhole center line marked on the
fabric aligns with the center of the buttonhole foot. (b)
Density varies according to the fabric.
Always test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are using to
sew the buttonhole.
Follow the 4-step sequence changing from one step to another
with the pattern selector dial. When moving from step to step
through the buttonhole process, be sure that the needle is
raised before turning the pattern selector dial to the next step.
Take care not to sew too many stitches in steps 1 and 3. Use
seam ripper and cut buttonhole open from both ends towards
the middle.
- Slightly reducing upper thread tension will produce better
results.
- Use a stabilizer for fine or stretchy fabrics.
- It is advisable to use heavy thread or cord for stretch or knit
fabrics. The zig-zag should sew over the heavy thread or
cord. (A)
Adjust the Stitch Length Dial in the "
" range to set stitch
density.
