deeply underneath to prevent piling up of the thread (See
Fig. 26).
2. Look the stitch width between 1 and 2, and set the stitch
length near 0.

the beginning of buttonhole. Stitch to the mark for the end
of the buttonhole, step 1, Fig. 27, stopping machine

turn the fabric end for end.
5. Lower presser foot and turn hand wheel just enough
to raise needle out of fabric.

five or six stitches to form bar tack, step 2, Fig. 26.
