HINTS FOR PERFECT
BUTTONHOLES
The presser foot and buttonhole
guide foot should be in this position
at the start of the buttonhole sewing.
The needle must be lowered at the
marked line for the beginning of the
buttonhole. See Fig. 1.
When the full length of the button­
hole is reached, the presser foot and
guide foot will be in position shown
in Fig. 2.
The presser foot and guide foot will
be in position shown in Fig. 1 when
buttonhole is completed.
To make firm well stitched button­
holes in heavier fabrics, repeat only
steps 1 and 3 on the preceding page.

If the forward stitching does not
exactly match the reverse stitching
as shown in Fig. 3, slightly adjust the
stitch length control during forward
sewing.
Always make a practice buttonhole
on a scrap of fabric you plan to use.
Try the buttonhole with the button you
will use.
Use an interfacing between the layers
of fabric - tissue paper can be used
and torn away after the stitching.
