BUILT-IN BUTTONHOLER
This buttonhole eliminates the need for
pivoting the fabric. It is used most often on
light and medium woven fabrics.
1. Set the buttonhole control dial at the
( # 2 ) , buttonhole picture. Lower the
needle into the mark at the top end of the
buttonhole. Lower the presser foot. A
few stitches will be made for the bartack,
# 2, turn'to # 1 than the stitching will sew
the left side in forward. ’
Stop when the stitching reaches the bot­
tom end of marked buttonhole. At this
position the machine will be sewing in for­
ward.
2. With the needle up, select the ( # 4 ) four
buttonhole picture. A few bartack stit­
ches will be made, turn to 3 than the stit­
ching will sew the right side in reverse.
If using cardboard the white nylon slide
will run into the carboard to prevent sew­
ing into the bartack.
3. To lock the stitch, make sure the needle is
out of the fabric. Make sure the pattern
control dial is at straight stitch and take a
few stitches.
4. Score the buttonhole with the back edge
of the seam ripper several times. To pre­
vent cutting through the bartack, insert a
straight pin through the bartack. Cut
buttonhole open with the seam ripper.
Note: Stitch Width Control should always
be at "0" while sewing this button­
hole.
Adjustment of stitch density:
Check the stitch density on a scrap of fabric.
If density is too open or too close, re-adjust
by turning stitch length dial.
