insert the seam ripper into the center of the buttonhole and
cut towards the pin.

CAUTION
When using the seam ripper to open the buttonhole,
do not put your hand or finger in the path of the
ripper. The ripper may slip and cause injury.
For Keyhole Buttonholes
Use the eyelet punch to make a hole in the rounded end of the
buttonhole. Then insert a pin along the inside of one of the bar
tacks, insert a seam ripper into the hole made with the eyelet
punch, and cut towards the pin.

4. Lower the buttonhole lever so that it is positioned behind the
metal bracket on the buttonhole foot.

5. Gently hold the end of the upper thread, and then start sew-
ing. Feed the fabric carefully by hand while the buttonhole is
sewn. Once sewing is completed, the machine automatically
sews reinforcement stitches, and then stops.
Note
If the fabric does not feed (for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
