How to sew buttonholes

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 0.3 cm (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)
