Step 3: Bar Tack
Raise the needle above the fabric.
Turn buttonhole dial clockwise to step 3. Take
at least four stitches ending at point D.

CHANGING STITCH DENSITY
Stitch density on left and right sides of the
buttonhole may be balanced by using the
stitch balance dial. Use the stitch balance dial
to obtain similar stitch appearance on either
side of the buttonhole.
To change the density on either side of the
buttonhole follow the procedure below.
• Make a test buttonhole with the stitch
balance control dial to neutral position.
1. If stitches on the left side are too far apart
rotate the balance dial downward.
2. If stitches on the right side are too far apart
rotate the balance dial upward.
Return the balance dial to its neutral position
after buttonhole sewing is completed.
