After the presser foot lever has been lowered,
set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an “A”, otherwise
the size of the stitch will not be correct. To do
this, push the presser foot towards the back of
the machine as shown in the left figure.
*
Pass the thread underneath the presser foot.
4. Lower the buttonhole lever and position it behind the metal
bracket on the buttonhole foot.
