Adjusting Buttonholes - Brother XL-2230 Operation Manual

■ Securing the Stitching and Cutting the
Buttonhole
1 To secure the stitching, turn the material 90
degrees counterclockwise and sew Straight
Stitches to the end of the front bar tack of the
buttonhole.
2 Remove the material from the machine. We
recommend that you put pins across both
ends of the buttonhole as protection against
cutting the stitches.
3 Cut an opening in the middle of the
buttonhole with a seam ripper tool. Be careful
not to cut through any stitches.
CAUTION
●
When using the seam ripper to open the
buttonhole, do not put your hand or
finger in the path of the ripper. The
ripper may slip and injure you.

Adjusting Buttonholes

If the stitching on the two sides of the buttonhole is
not the same, you can make the following
adjustments.
1 After sewing the left side of the buttonhole,
stitch the right side and observe the feeding.

the other side, adjust the buttonhole fine
