Tips:
Remove the zigzag foot and attach the buttonhole foot.
Adjust the stitch length dial between "0.5" - "1". The
density of the stitch depends on thickness of the fabric.
Always test sew a buttonhole.
Measure the diameter of the button and add 0.3cm (1/8")
for the bartacks. If you have a very thick button, add
more to the diameter measurement. Mark the position
and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
Position the fabric so that the needle is on the mark that
is furthest from you.
Pull the buttonhole foot towards you as far as it will go.
Lower the foot.
a. Turn the pattern selector dial to " ". Sew at
moderate speed until you reach the end mark.
b. Turn the pattern selector dial to " " and sew 5-6
bartack stitches.
c. Turn the pattern selector dial to " " and sew the left
side of the buttonhole to the mark at the end which is
further from you.
d. Turn the pattern selector dial to " " and sew bar
tack stitches.
Remove the fabric from under the foot. Draw the upper
thread through the backside of the fabric and knot upper
and lower threads. Cut the center of the buttonhole with
the seam ripper, being careful not to cut the stitches on
either side.
- Slightly reduce upper thread tension to produce better
results.
- Use backing material for fine and stretchy fabrics.
- It is advisable to use a gimp cord for stretch or knit
fabrics. The zigzag should sew over the gimp. (e)
