Gently hold the end of the upper thread in your left
hand, and then start sewing.
Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, then
stops.

Cut the thread.
■ When using the cutter on the left side of the
machine
Cut the threads with the thread cutter by pulling fabric and
threads toward the back of the machine; then up and over
to the left side of the machine, placing threads on the top
of the thread cutter and gently pulling down. The threads
will then cut.

models with a thread cutter button)
Press once.
Raise the presser foot, and then remove the fabric.
i
Raise the buttonhole lever to its original position.
j
Insert a pin along the inside of one bar tack at the end
of the buttonhole stitching to prevent the stitching
from being cut.

Use the seam ripper to cut towards the pin and open
the buttonhole.
1 Seam ripper
For keyhole buttonholes, use the eyelet punch to make
a hole in the rounded end of the buttonhole, and then
use the seam ripper to cut open the buttonhole.
1 Eyelet punch
• When using the eyelet punch, place thick paper or
some other protective sheet under the fabric before
punching the hole in the fabric.
Memo
• When using the thread cutter on the left side of
the machine or scissors to cut the threads, press
(Needle position button) to raise the needle,
raise the presser foot, and then pull out the fabric
before cutting the threads.

Memo
• If the automatic thread cutting setting was
selected before sewing, the machine will
automatically cut the threads at the end of the
stitching. For details, refer to “Automatically
cutting the thread” in the “Basic operations”
section.
CAUTION
• When opening the buttonhole with the seam
ripper, do not place your hands in the cutting
direction, otherwise injuries may result if the
seam ripper slips.
• Do not use the seam ripper in any other way
than how it is intended.
