Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser

• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole
foot backward as far as possible as shown
in the illustration, making sure that there is
no gap behind the part of the foot marked
"A". If the buttonhole foot is not slid back as
far as possible, the buttonhole will not be
sewn at the correct size.
