Buttonhole sewing is a simple process
that provides reliable results. However,
it is strongly suggested to always make
a practice buttonhole on a sample of
your fabric and stabilizer.
Making a Buttonhole
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position of
the buttonhole on the fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and set the
Pattern Selector Dial to " ".
Set stitch length dial to " ". Set the
stitch width at "5". The width however
may need to be adjusted according to
the project, Sew a test first to determine
this.
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the
marks on foot with the marks on the
fabric (A). (The front bar tack will be
sewn first.) (Align the mark on the fabric
(a) with the mark on the foot (b).)
4. Open the button plate and insert the
button (B).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently
push it back (C).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread,
start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order
(D).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole
cycle has completed.
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
hook heavy thread or cord under the
buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole is
sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric with the tailor's chalk, attach
the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern
selector dial to " ". Set stitch length
dial to " ".
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back
end of the buttonhole foot, then bring
the two heavy thread ends to the front
of the foot, insert them into the grooves
and temporarily tie them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
*Set the stitch width to match the
diameter of the gimp thread.
4. Once sewing is completed, gently pull
the heavy thread to remove any slack,
then trim off the excess.
