Buttonhole sewing is a simple process that provides reliable
results. However, it is strongly suggested to always make a
practice buttonhole on a sample of your fabric and stabilizer.
Making a Buttonhole
1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position of the buttonhole on the
fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and set the Pattern Selector Dial to
" "
. Set stitch length dial to
" "
. Set the stitch width at "5".
The width however may need to be adjusted according to the
project. Sew a test rst to determine this.
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the marks
on the fabric (A). (The front bar tack will be sewn rst.) (Align the
mark on the fabric (a) with the mark on the foot (b).)
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (B).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (C).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (D).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole cycle has completed.
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy
thread or cord under the buttonhole foot. When the
buttonhole is sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on the fabric with the tailor's
chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern selector
dial to
" "
. Set stitch length dial to
" "
.
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole foot,
then bring the two heavy thread ends to the front of the foot,
insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
*Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the gimp thread.
4. Once sewing is completed, gently pull the heavy thread to
remove any slack, then trim off the excess.
