Balancing the
buttonhole
Some types of fabrics will show different density of
stitches on the right or the left side of the buttonhole.
This is easily adjusted by following the instructions
below:
1. If the stitches on the left side of the buttonhole are too
open, move the stitch and buttonhole balance selector
a little to the right to make the stitches more compact.
If they are too compact move the selector a little to the
left, until the density of stitches decreases (illustra
tion 1).
2. If the stitches on the right side of the buttonhole are to
open, turn the reverse push button and buttonhole
balance selector slightly to the right to make more
compact stitches. If they are too compact, turn the
selector slightly to the left until the density of stitches
decreases (illustration 2).
