Your zigzag sewing machine stitches button holes automatically by means of button­
hole knob, without turning the fabric.

Turn the regulating knob (A) clockwise until mark 1 (over the knob)
comes to the arrow-mark printed on face plate.
Sew with desired length, (little longer than button size) as Fig. No. 1.
Turn the knob (A) to mark 2. Sew 4 or 6 stitches as Fig. No. 2. (tacking).
Turn the knob (A) until mark 3. Sew with power same length as 1st
reverse sewing, as Fig. No. 3.
Turn the knob (A) to mark 4. Sew 4 or 6 stitches as Fig. No. 4. (tacking).
Before starting to sew button holes on cloth, try one or two times on a separate piece of material.
After finishing button-holes, lift the presser foot, take out the fabric, then cut off inside of the button-hole pattern with
seam ripper in the accessories box.
NOTE (1) Do not set stitch length control knob to "0” position, where machine does not feed material, must be
at "1" or longer position.
In sewing second row of stitches, (3rd step). Fig. No. 3, be sure to guide first row of stitches in groove
provided for it one bottom face of button hole foot, then both row of pearl stitches will be spaced
apart properly. This also prevents row edge after the space between these rows of stitches have
been cut open.
