Sewing the buttonhole

foot so that the edge of
the fabric lies in front of
the foot.
Turn the handwheel to
move the needle to the
right stroke of the zig-zag,
i.e. to the centre of the
presser foot. Position the
fabric so that the needle
goes in exactly at the
beginning of the button-
hole. Lower the foot and
follow the sequence.
