Buttons That Do Not Fit into the Button
Holder Plate
Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the
size of the buttonhole. The distance between the
markings on the presser foot scale is 5 mm (approx.
3/16 inch).
Add together the diameter and thickness of the
button, and then set the button holder plate to the
calculated value.
