Instruction for Buttonholing
1 Sew first side over a filler cord. When beginning of
seam reaches red end of slide indicator on button
hole gauge, it is the right length. Leave needle in
fabric on right side of its throw.
2 Lift foot, turn fabric around clockwise, using needle
as a pivot. Pull filler cord around the needle to the
left and lay it parallel to completed line of stitching.
Lower foot and take one stitch to the left.
3 Turn dial A until it is caught in second notch. Make
4 to 6 bartack stitches, slightly holding the material
to reduce length of bar.

".
Trim filler cord at end of first stitch row.
Sew second row and stop about 4 to 6 stitches
(h/io")
from end
of first row.
5 Turn dial A to second notch position. Make second tack, as
instructed above (under 3).
6 Turn dial A to "0" and make 3 or 4 fastening stitches.
7 Trim both the sewing and filler threads. Open the buttonhole with
your seam ripper. Be careful not to injure the bartacks.
