AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLE PROGRAM

Wool-like fabric or heavy flannel, 6" x 6"
Lightweight tear-away stabilizer 3" x 6"
80/12 Universal
Polyester or cotton embroidery thread

Automatic Buttonhole Foot #3A

3/4" (19 mm/30L) two-hole button

Tips:
• Because Automatic Buttonhole is a program, it needs to
stitch to completion. Keep the Foot Control depressed
until the machine stops stitching, or use the Start/Stop
button to stitch the buttonhole.
• Buttonhole Bead Width and Stitch Density are also
adjustable using the Multi-function Knobs in the sewing
view.
