BUTTONHOLES
Use the Buttonhole foot. Buttonhole stitch 6
is for thin and medium fabric and buttonhole
stitch 7 is for suits or overcoats.
1. Insert a button in between tab A
and tab B.
2. Buttonholes can be sewn to match the
size of the button.
Procedure
•
Use stabilizer in the area of the garment
where the buttonholes are placed.
Stabilizer or regular interfacing can be
used.
•
Use a scrap piece of the fabric you are
going to use, to test the buttonhole.
1. Select one of the two buttonhole stitches
(06 or 07).
2. Attach the buttonhole foot.
3. Insert the button into the buttonhole
foot.
4. Carefully mark the position of the
buttonhole on your garment.
5. Set the buttonhole lever (C) so that
it drops down vertically between the
stoppers (D) and (E).
6. Place the fabric under the foot. Pull out
the bobbin thread underneath the fabric
to a length of about 4" (10 cm). Bring the
thread through the hole and place it under
the foot.
