Automatic buttonhole
This is also a bartack buttonhole similar to the sensor
bartack buttonhole, but you can manually set and memorize
the buttonhole size to sew buttonholes of the same size.
This buttonhole is useful for bulky fabrics or when sewing
on uneven layers.
Machine Setting
Stitch pattern: 12 (Mode 3)
Thread tension: 1-5
Presser foot:
Automatic buttonhole foot R
Foot pressure: 3
When you select stitch pattern 12, you will see a window
open on screen. The picture is a reminder to pull the
button holder of the buttonhole foot all the way out.
You do not need to pull down the buttonhole lever when
making automatic buttonholes.
For best results when sewing buttonholes, use a stabilizer.
Simply add a tear-a-way stabilizer on the back side of the
fabric when sewing buttonholes.

Buttonhole Tips
Insert the garment under the foot, and lower the needle at
the starting point.
Then lower the automatic buttonhole foot R.
If you wish to change the buttonhole width and density
press the stitch width and length buttons.
If there is a difference in stitch density between the right
and left sides of the buttonhole, refer to page 70 for
correction.
If you wish to sew a buttonhole longer than the size
permitted by the automatic buttonhole foot R, use satin
stitch foot F.
