Sewing techniques
These techniques may require some special presser
feet and accessories.
Three-step zigzag stitch
Stich number 1.1.9 can be used to overcast raw
edges. Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on
the left side and overcasts the edge on the right
side.
Stitch number 1.1.9 can also be used as an
elastic stitch to add elastic to pajamas, skirts and
sportswear.
Buttonholes
Buttonholes are found in category 1, subcategory
1.3 in the selection menu. You can also scroll
through the list in sewing mode to fi nd the
buttonhole subcategory.
Note: Buttonholes up to 50 mm can be sewn using
the Sensormatic buttonhole foot. Both sides of the
Sensormatic buttonhole are sewn in the same direction
for a more even result.
Buttonholes over 50 mm are sewn manually in four
steps with presser foot 5M.
The direction of the stitches being sewn will be
indicated on the screen by an arrow next to the
buttonhole.
To sew a buttonhole, fi rst attach the correct foot,
then select your buttonhole. To ensure a good
result, start with sewing a test sample on the fabric
and stabilizer you will use.
Note: Make sure that the IDT is disengaged.
Attaching the Sensormatic buttonhole foot
1. Snap on the Sensormatic buttonhole foot.
2. Plug the cord into the socket found to the left
underside between the two LED lights (A).
