Step-by-Step Buttonholes
A buttonhole can also be sewn step by step without the Sensor
Buttonhole Foot connected. Use the reverse button to set the
length of the buttonhole.
1. Attach Presser Foot C.
2. Place the fabric and stabilizer under the presser foot. Use the
markings on the left toe of the buttonhole foot to position
the garment edge. Place the edge of the garment at the
middle mark to have 5/8’’ (15 mm) from the edge to the
buttonhole.
3. Begin sewing the buttonhole. The sewing machine will sew
the left column in reverse. When the buttonhole has reached
the desired length, press the Reverse button. Your sewing
machine will bartack the end and stitch the right side.
4. Sew to the starting mark and press the Reverse button to sew
the second bartack. Keep the foot control depressed until the
buttonhole is
fi
nished. The machine will stop automatically
when the buttonhole is complete.
5. Press the Stop button to repeat the buttonhole.

Corded Buttonhole (Stretch fabrics)
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics we recommend
cording the buttonhole to increase the stability and to keep the
buttonhole from stretching out.
1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or perle cotton over the
fi
nger
at the back of the Sensor Buttonhole Foot or Presser Foot C.
2. Stitch a buttonhole. Let the satin buttonhole columns stitch
over the cord.
3. Stop sewing before the last end of the buttonhole is sewn.
Lift the cord off the
fi
nger and pull out the slack.
4. Cross the cord in front of the needle and stitch the end of the
buttonhole over the cord.
