BUTTONHOLE MAKING

Your Kenmore brings you two buttonhole

systems along with several special acces
sories that enable you to solve all your
clothes "closing" problems. '

Your built-in system enables you to sew
buttonholes with finished ends (bar-tacked)
by simply turning the stitch selector. Only
two control settings are required. An

important aid is the buttonhole guide foot.

Your buttonhole attachment is a Kenmore
"special" that guides the fabric for you,

eliminates the need to turn fabric by hand.

You will find following parts in your
accessory box:

1. Buttonhole guide plate.

2. Five templates which give you a choice

of buttonhole styles and lengths.

3. Cover plate with pinion gear.

4. Buttonhole foot.

TIPS ON BUTTONHOLING

Always make a practice buttonhole on a
scrap of fabric you plan to use. Try the
buttonhole with the button you will use.

Always use an interfacing in area of
garment where buttonholes are placed.
Tissue paper or regular interfacing can
be used. Tear paper away after stitch

ing, if it is used.

For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your

top thread tension slightly.
