UTILITY STITCHES
■ Odd Shaped Buttons/Buttons that Do Not Fit
into the Button Holder Plate
Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the size of
the buttonhole. Two marks on the presser foot scale equal
5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch).
Add the button diameter and thickness together, and then
set the plate at the calculated value.

Memo
• For example, for a button with a diameter of 15 mm
(approx. 9/16 inch) and a thickness of 10 mm
(approx. 3/8 inch), the scale should be set at 25
mm (approx. 1 inch).
Four-Step Buttonholes
You can sew 4-step buttonholes using the following 4
stitches together. You can sew any desired length for
the buttonhole when using 4-step buttonholes. 4-step
buttonholes are a good option when attaching oversize
buttons.
