Buttonholes
Sewing buttonholes is very easy with
push button controls since the fabric does
not have to be turned.
Buttonholes are generally sewn onto
a piece of doubled fabric. However,
for some fabrics, e.g. silk, organza and
viscose, it is necessary to use stabilizer to
prevent the fabric from contracting while
sewing.
To produce beautiful seams, embroidering
or darning threads are ideal.
Mark the starting point of the buttonhole
either with a magic pen or dress pin, and
always sew a sample buttonhole À rst.
Note: Before starting any buttonhole, always
push the guide of the buttonhole foot fully to
the front, i.e. so that the red arrow is at the
À rst red mark. The red marks are arranged at
an interval of 0.5 cm. They are a guide when
determining the length of the buttonhole.
Standard buttonhole
• Insert the buttonhole foot and slide the
foot forward as far as it will go.
• Select stitch 1 (C) and sew the right
side of the buttonhole to the required
length. Clip the top thread after a few
stitches.
• Select stitch 2 (B) and hold the button
down as you sew a few bartacks.
• Select stitch 3 (A) and sew the left side
of the buttonhole until it matches the
previous side in length.
• Select stitch 4 (B) and hold the button
down as you sew a few bartacks.
• Release button B and sew a couple
stitches to secure your buttonhole.
• Carefully cut open your buttonhole.
