PROCEDURE:
• Attach buttonhole foot to machine with red markings to the left.
• Always make a sample buttonhole on the same fabric us^ to make
your garment. Use a double layer of fabric with interfacing
between.
• Mark the starting and ending position of your buttonholes with
tape and use chalk to mark the cutting line.
• Pull buttonhole box forward until it is fully extended and position
over tape as shown above.
• Proceed as on page 27 "Sewing Buttonholes".
• If buttonhole appears uneven, turn stitch length dial until the left
side looks like the right side. The reverse stitching is pre-set.
• INVISIBLE BUTTON HOLE may be made by using matching
thread so that the button hole blends with the fabric.
• EXAGGERATED BUTTONHOLE may be made by running through
the buttonhole cycle a second time to make a very dense buttonhole.
To add an extra beauty to buttonholes, use a constrasting thread
color.
Example: Red buttonholes on white fabric.
• If buttonholes appear too dense for knit fabrics, release the presaire
cap half way.
