Stitching Complete Buttonholes
Whenever you make a buttonhole, be sure to
stitch it all the way around (to complete stitch
ing cycle) before re-setting the buttonhole
lever for a new start.
If you make a false start when sewing a button
hole in your garment, simply remove the work
and complete the buttonhole stitching on scrap
fabric.
BUTTONHOLE ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting Stitch Length
Buttonhole stitch length is regulated by the
stitch-length dial. Set it to suit your fabric
within the red bracketed area. Generally, short
stitches are best for lightweight, woven fabric;
longer ones for heavier fabric and knits. Set
dial in center of buttonhole symbol for your
test buttonhole.
• For shorter stitches, turn the dial toward
setting 15.
• For longer stitches, turn the dial toward
setting 6.
Adjusting Stitch Balance
Stitch density on right and left sides of the
buttonhole is balanced with the stitch-balance
dial. A slight movement of the dial produces a
noticeable change in density.
• If the stitches on the LEFT side of the but
tonhole are too dense, turn the balance dial
to the right (Nwi-*symbol) to give equal den
sity to both sides of the buttonhole.
Turning dial to right opens left side and closes
right side.
• If the stitches on the LEFT side of the button
hole are too open, turn the balance dial to
the left {*mm symbol) to give equal density
to both sides of the buttonhole.
Turning dial to left closes left side and opens
right side.
