NOTES:
Buttonholes 16, 18 and 19 are sensor buttonholes.
The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing a
button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R.
The button holder of the foot takes a button size of 0.5 cm
(3/16 ”) to 2.5 cm (1”) in diameter.
It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size to
match certain heavy or specific fabrics and threads.
Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric to
check your settings.
The preset width of the buttonhole is suited for ordinary
buttons.
Apply an interfacing to stretch or fine fabrics.
