Sewing techniques

Three-step zigzag stitch

Stich number 9 can be used to overcast raw edges.
Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left
side and overcasts the edge on the right side.
Stitch number 9 can also be used as an elastic stitch
to allow seams to stretch when sewing knit fabrics.

Buttonholes

Your machine's buttonholes are specially adjusted
for different kinds of fabric and garments. Look
descriptions of each buttonhole.
The fabric should be interfaced and/or stabilized
where buttonholes are to be sewn.
One step Buttonhole Foot 5B
1. Mark the the position of the buttonhole on
your garment.
2. Attach buttonhole foot 5B and pull out the
button holder plate. Insert the button. The
button will determine the length of the
buttonhole.
3. Make sure that the thread is pulled though the
hole in the presser foot and placed under the
foot.
4. Select the buttonhole you want to sew and
adjust the width and density as desired.
Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a scrap piece of
fabric.
5. Lower the buttonhole lever all the way down
the stoppers (A and B).
6. Position your garment under the presser foot
so that the marking on the fabric is aligned
with the center of the buttonhole foot.
7. Hold the end of the upper thread and start
sewing. The buttonholes are sewn from the
front of the presser foot to the back.
8. Once the machine has sewn the buttonhole,
raise the presser foot.
