1. Carefully mark the buttonhole
length on your garment. Mount
the buttonhole guide onto the
presser foot so that rear edge of
presser foot is at the rear end of
the guide, with upper thread as
shown. Place the fabric with
buttonhole marked, under the
buttonhole guide.
Without lowering the foot, let the
needle pierce the fabric at the be­
ginning of the buttonhole. Lower
presser foot.
Reproduction of the identical size
buttonholes is facilitated with the
aid of the graduations on the left
side of the buttonhole guide.
These
graduations are apart.
Always start buttonhole with foot
positioned at rear end of the guide.
After first buttonhole is made, al­
ways stitch forward to point on
front of guide as with first button­
hole. Graduations act as reference
mark.
2. With the buttonhole control at F,
stitch forward until you approach
the front marking of your button­
hole.
