TWO-STEP BUTTONHOLING
Your machine makes buttonholes in two easy steps.
• You never need to move the fabric or reposition the needle.
• Always make a practice buttonhole on a sample of your fabric.
When making buttonholes on hard-to
reach areas convert machine bed to free
arm sewing.
Mark buttonhole position on fabric as
indicated in pattern.
When sewing delicate fabrics, place a
piece of paper over the fabric when
positioning the garment. Lower the
presser foot and slip the paper out from
under the foot. This will prevent the
teeth on the underside of the foot from
picking and pulling the fabric.
