CAUTION
Be sure the thread passes under the presser foot.

3. Set the fabric so that the pocket moves towards you

during sewing.

CAUTION
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole foot back-

ward as far as possible as shown in the illustration,
making sure that there is no gap behind the
part of the foot marked “A”. If the button-
hole foot is not slid back as far as possible,
the bar tack will not be sewn to the correct
size.

• Pass the thread underneath the presser foot.
