Please Note:
Before sewing a buttonhole on your project,
practice on a scrap piece of the same type
of fabrics.
Mark the positions of the buttonhole on the
fabric. The maximum buttonhole length is
3cm (1 3/16 inch). (Total of diameter +
thickness of button.)
Attach the buttonhole foot, then pull out the
button holder plate and insert the button.
The size of the buttonhole is determined by
the button inserted in the button plate.
The thread should be passed through the
hole in the presser foot, then be placed
under the foot.
Select the buttonhole stitch.
Adjust the stitch width and the stitch length to
the desired width and density.
