Raise the foot and the needle to its highest position. Replace the foot with
the transparent buttonhole foot for sewing buttonholes.
Mark the location and the desired length of buttonhole on the fabric by using a
pencil or tailor's chalk.
Note:*To find the most suitable
stitch length, it is better
to sew a sample buttonhole
on a piece of waste fabric.
‘When sewing very fine
fabrics and synthetics, de­
crease the pressure of foot
and sew over a piece of
paper to prevent thread dis­
tortion.
‘The mark on the stitch
length dial shows a range of
buttonhole sewing. An
adjustment can be made
by setting the mark, as
shown.
