Sewing buttonholes
Buttonholes
When sewing buttonholes, change to the buttonhole
foot C.
The buttonhole foot has graduated markings to help
you make the buttonholes the same length. Decrease the
upper thread tension by turning the thread tension dial
to the buttonhole symbol.
Set the stitch selector and stitch length dial at the
buttonhole symbol. Before doing so, make sure that the
needle is in the highest position. Engage the upper needle
stop position. The finer thread you use, the more attrac­
tive and even the buttonhole wdl be. Make a mark on the
fabric where you wish to begin the buttonhole.
Always test sew a buttonhole and adjust the stitch
setting. Insert the fabric under the presser foot, remem­
bering that the machine will begin to sew in reverse.
Set the stitch selector to siunbol 1.
The machine sews the first column in reverse.
Stop when you reach the correct column
length.
Turn to symbol 3.
Sew the other column the same length as the
first one.
Turn to symbol 2—4.
Now the machine will form the bar tack. Sew
three or four stitches. Turn back to symbol 2—4. The machine will
form the final bar tack. Sew three or four
stitches. Turn to symbol 1 and lock the threads
with a few stitches in the first column.
