Sewing A Buttonhole - Singer 7442 Instruction Manual

SEWING A BUTTONHOLE

USING BUTTONHOLE FOOT
Your machine offers you two difference widths of bartack
buttonholes sewn by a system that measures the size of the
button and calculates the size buttonhole required. All of this
is done in one easy step.
PROCEDURE
* Use an interfacing in the area of the garment where
buttonholes are placed. Stabilizer or regular interfacing can
be used.
* Make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of the fabric you are
using. Then try the buttonhole with the selected button.
1. Select one of buttonhole patterns.
2. Replace the presser foot with the buttonhole foot. (Refer to
"Changing presser foot" on page 26 - 27.)
3. Insert the button into the buttonhole foot. (Refer to "Using
buttonhole foot" above.)
4. Lower the buttonhole lever (C) so that it drops down vertically
between the stoppers (A) and (B).
