the bottom left corner of the
screen
· use the external stitch width knob
to move the vertical line on the
screen, changing the size of the
box around the button
· the buttonhole size is shown in mm
on the right, e.g. 20 mm
Back to buttonhole menu

Buttonhole size

backwards.

Corrections for thick buttons
· for buttons which are particularly
thick, e.g. raised buttons etc., do
not move the vertical line right up
to the edge of the button
· move it to within about 1–4 mm of
the right edge of the button,
depending on the button height
Recommendation
· sew a test buttonhole on a scrap of
the fabric and interfacing you
intend to use
· cut buttonhole open
· push button through hole
· correct the size if necessary
The appearance of a stitch counter
buttonhole can vary on different
types of fabric so it must be
reprogrammed for different fabrics.
· the buttonhole length is now
measured by the stitch counter, i.e.
number of stitches
