Manual buttonhole

You can also set the length of the buttonhole while sewing.
Select the desired buttonhole. Press the "reverse sewing"
button. The word "man" appears in the window. The
buttonhole length, set previously, disappears.
Once you have reached the desired length, press the
"reverse sewing" button once again. The machine will now
sew the rst bartack and the second side of the buttonhole.
Before the left side of the buttonhole ends, the machine
will slow down. To complete the buttonhole with a second
bartack, press the "reverse sewing" button once again. The
machine will sew the second bartack and complete the
buttonhole.
The word "auto" appears in the window.
All remaining buttonholes can now be repeated fully
automatically.
Note: The programming of the buttonhole is deleted when another
stitch is selected.
You can also place the last bartack manually, even after
the buttonhole has been programmed. Press the "reverse
sewing" button one time after you have stitched the rst
bartack. The word "man" appears in the window. This
indicates a manual nish of the buttonhole is desired. Before
the left side of the buttonhole ends, the machine will slow
down. When the left side of the buttonhole is the same
length as the right side of the buttonhole press the "reverse
sewing" button (16) once again.
The second bartack will be sewn and complete the
buttonhole. The word "auto" appears in the window.
All remaining buttonholes can now be nished manually,
by pressing the "reverse sewing" button (16) at the end of
the left side of the buttonhole.
Keyhole buttonhole
Keyhole buttonholes can be sewn with the buttonhole foot.
The keyhole buttonhole can be sewn fully automatically,
semi-automatically and manually.
Warning: The keyhole buttonhole must be sewn with the rounded
end towards the edge of your garment/project. However, the
buttonhole will begin sewing from the bartack end. It is important
to rst mark the length, measuring from the starting point
inwards. Always sew the buttonhole from the inside to the outside
towards the edge.
Choose stitch 46. A standard keyhole buttonhole will appear
in the window along with the width, length and stitch
density indications. These settings can be altered,
Tip: Cut open all buttonholes with the seam ripper. Open the
curve of the keyhole buttonhole with a belt punch or awl.
