4-Step Buttonhole stitch

Buttonholes can be adapted to the size of the button.
For stretch fabric or thin fabric, it is recommended to use a stabilizer for a better 

buttonhole sewing. Slightly reduce upper thread tension to produce better results.

the buttonhole foot.

Note

Please use the same fabric of the project 

and do a sewing test in advance.

Measure diameter and thickness of button 

and add 3mm for bartacks to obtain correct 

buttonhole length; mark buttonhole size on 

fabric. 
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.

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 2 and 4. 

Cut the center of the buttonhole being careful 

not to cut any stitches on either side. Use a 

pin as a stopper at the bar tack so you do not 

cut too much.

Note

When cutting the buttonhole with the seam 

ripper, do not place your hands in the 

cutting direction, otherwise injuries may 

result.
