Buttonholes

Corded buttonholes

A fine rnrH r^n be tn

material, in order to keep the shape better. Attach the
cord around the projection at the heel of the buttonhole
foot as shown in the illustration. Stretch the cord, lower
the presser foot and sew the buttonhole in the ordinary
way, letting the cord ride in the grooves under the
presser foot. Note; Do not hold the cord.

When the buttonhole is finished, pull the cords to

eliminate the loop which will serve as reinforcement at
one end of the buttonhole (the end which is most worn

by the button). Bar tack and cut the cord close to the
stitching or use a needle and hand sew the loose ends
through to the reverse side and tie them.

Adjustment possibilities

Some combinations of fabrics, needle and thread may

cause some variations in the stitch density of one or both
columns.

Test sew a buttonhole. Sew the first column and adjust

the stitch density if necessary. Sew the bar tack and part
of the second column. Compare the columns and adjust if
necessary with the + or - push-button below the left
digital indicator. Continue to sew. If you adjust the stitch
length of the first column before beginning to sew, or
after you have started the first column, the stitch density
of both columns will be affected.

All the adjustments you make will remain until the

next buttonhole. The machine will start a similar
buttonhole as soon as you depress the foot control again.

It is also possible to adjust the width of the buttonhole

by means of the + or - push-buttons below the right

digital indicator. Fine fabrics may require a narrower
buttonhole, while heavier, easily-frayed fabrics require a

wider buttonhole.
