Automatic Buttonhole
1.
Attach Automatic Buttonhole Foot #3A. (This is an
optional accessory for the B 325.)
2.
Thread the bobbin thread through the
finger of the bobbin case. This will
increase the bobbin tension and will
give the beads on the right side of the
fabric a slightly rounded appearance.

Select Standard Buttonhole #0.
4.
Mark the beginning placement of one buttonhole.
5.
The length of the buttonhole can be set by using the red
slider on the foot.
6.
Sew the stitch forward and stop when the slider aligns
with the red marking on the presser foot. Press the
Reverse Button.
• NOTE:
Auto and Automatic Buttonhole Foot with
Slide 3A appear on the screen. The buttonhole
length is now programmed.
7.
The remainder of the buttonhole is sewn automatically.
The machine will stop when the buttonhole is complete.
The buttonhole is repeatable without re-setting.
Corded Buttonhole
1.
Fold the cord in half and loop the middle around the
center “toe” of the foot and put tails in back slits.
2.
Stitch a second buttonhole. Carefully remove the fabric
from under the foot.
3.
Pull the cord ends until the loop is pulled up under the
buttonhole stitches; trim the ends of cord.
• If working on a knit fabric, knot the cord ends
together before trimming.
4.
Store this buttonhole in Memory. See next page for
details.
AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLE PROGRAM
Tips:
• Because the Automatic Buttonhole is a program, it needs
to stitch to completion. Keep the Foot Control depressed
until the machine stops stitching, or use the Start/Stop
button to stitch the buttonhole.
• Buttonhole Bead Width and Stitch Density are also
adjustable.
