USER
TIPS
Always
sew
a
sample
buttonhole
on
some
spare
fabric
as
settings
will
change
according
to
the
fabric
used.
For
very
thin,
stretchy
or
other
difficult
fabrics,
try
using
interfacing
(vilene)
or
tissue
or
other
paper
underneath
the
fabric
to
aid
machine
feeding.
Always
use
the
Buttonhole
foot
using
its
calibrated
markings
to
measure
the
buttonhole
length.
On
suitable
fabric,
a
corded
buttonhole
can
be
sewn
taking
care
that
the
zig-zag
stitches
of
the
buttonhole
oversew
the
cord.
(2)
Carefully
cut
between
the
sides
(beads)
of
the
buttonhole
with
the
seam
ripper
using
a
pin
through
the
end
bar
tack
(2)
to
prevent
the
seam
ripper
going
too
far.
The
top
tension
may
be
reduced
to
achieve
a
better
looking
buttonhole.
