a
Use chalk to mark on the fabric the position and length
of the buttonhole.
b
Pull out the button guide plate of buttonhole foot “A”,
and then insert the button that will be put through the
buttonhole.
■ If the button does not fit in the button guide
plate
Add together the diameter and thickness of the button,
and then set the button guide plate to the calculated
length. (The distance between the markings on the presser
foot scale is 5 mm (3/16 inch).)
Example: For a button with a diameter of 15 mm (9/16
inch) and a thickness of 10 mm (3/8 inch), the button
guide plate should be set to 25 mm (1 inch) on the scale.
The size of the buttonhole is set.
c
Attach buttonhole foot “A”.
Position the upper thread under the presser foot by
guiding thread through the hole in the presser foot
before attaching the buttonhole foot “A”.
d
Select a stitch.
• For details, refer to “Stitch Chart” on page 45.
e
Position the fabric with the front end of the buttonhole
mark aligned with the red marks on the sides of the
buttonhole foot, and then lower the presser foot lever.
• When lowering the presser foot, do not push in the
front of the presser foot.
f
Pull down the buttonhole lever as far as possible.
The buttonhole lever is positioned behind the bracket
on the buttonhole foot.
g
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.
