Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole
foot backward as far as possible as shown
in the illustration, making sure that there is
no gap behind the part of the foot marked
"A+". If the buttonhole foot is not slid back
as far as possible, the buttonhole will not be
sewn at the correct size.
e
Gently hold the end of the upper thread,
and then start sewing.
*
Feed the fabric carefully by hand while the
buttonhole is sewn.
Once sewing is completed, the machine
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then
stops.
Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
