Manual Buttonholes
A buttonhole can also be sewn step by step without the Sensor
One-Step Buttonhole Foot connected. Use Reverse to set the
length of the buttonhole.
1. Snap on Presser Foot C.
2. Place the fabric and stabilizer under the presser foot. Use
the markings on the left toe of the buttonhole foot to
position the garment edge. Place the edge of the garment
at the middle mark to have 5/8'' (15 mm) from the edge to
the buttonhole. Lower the presser foot.
3. Begin sewing the buttonhole. The sewing machine will
sew the left column in reverse. A reverse icon (A) is shown
on the GraphicDisplay indicating that you need to press
Reverse to step to the next part of the stitch. When the
buttonhole has reached the desired length, press Reverse.
Your sewing machine will bartack the end and stitch the
right side.
4. Sew to the starting mark and press Reverse to sew the
second bartack. Keep the foot control depressed until the
buttonhole is finished. The machine will stop automatically
when the buttonhole is complete.
Corded Buttonhole (Stretch fabrics)
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics we recommend
cording the buttonhole to increase the stability and to keep the
buttonhole from stretching out.
1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or gimp cord over the finger
on the back of Presser Foot C.
2. Stitch a buttonhole. Let the satin buttonhole columns stitch
over the cord.
3. Stop sewing before the last bartack of the buttonhole is
sewn. Lift the cord off the finger and pull out the slack.
4. Cross the cord in front of the needle and stitch the bartack
of the buttonhole over the cord.
