Making a buttonhole is a simple process that provides
reliable results.
With the 1-step Automatic Buttonhole Stitch pattern, a
buttonhole is sewn by automatically changing the
sewing direction when the buttonhole lever and
buttonhole foot are used.
Note
When sewing a stitch pattern other than for
a buttonhole, do not lower, touch or move
the buttonhole lever, otherwise the stitching
may become misaligned or sewn
incorrectly.
Memo
We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on an actual garment.
When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
■ Making a buttonhole

1
length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
