Bar Tacks - Brother Innov-is BQ2450 Operation Manual

c
Check that the needle drops at the desired
position and lower the presser foot, making
sure the upper thread passes underneath
the buttonhole foot.
Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an "A" (the
shaded area in the illustration below). If
there is a gap, the size of the darning will
not be correct.
d
Lower the buttonhole lever so that it is
positioned behind the metal bracket on the
buttonhole foot.

Gently hold the end of the upper thread,
and then press the "Start/Stop" button to
start the machine.
 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.

Bar Tacks

Use bar tacks to reinforce areas that will be subject
to strain, such as pocket corners.
See page S-67 for the detailed information of
