How to sew buttonholes
(one-step buttonhole)
Buttonhole sewing is a simple process that provides
reliable results. However, it is strongly suggested to
always make a practice buttonhole on a sample of your
fabric and interfacing.
Making a Buttonhole
1. Using tailor's chalk, mark the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric.
2. Attach the buttonhole foot and set the pattern selector dial
to "_ .
Set _titch length dial to "_"_=_"
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot with the
marks on the fabric (A). (The front bar tack will be sewn
first.) (Align the mark on the fabric (a) with the mark on the
foot (b).)
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (B).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (C).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (D).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole is sewn.
Making a Buttonhole on Stretch Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy
thread or cord under the buttonhole foot. When the buttonhole
is sewn the legs will overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on the fabric with the
tailor's chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern
selector dial to " _ ". Set stitch length dial to "_',_',',',_".
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole
foot, then bring the two heavy thread ends to the front of
the foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily tie
them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
*Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the gimp
thread.
4. Once sewing is completed, gently pull the heavy thread to
remove any slack, then trim off the excess.
