One-Step Buttonhole - Singer C5900 Instruction Manual

One-Step Buttonhole

Sew buttonholes perfectly sized for your button. The fabric
should be interfaced and/or stabilized where buttonholes are to
be sewn.
1. Mark the start position of the buttonhole on the fabric (A).
2. On the One-Step Buttonhole Foot, push the button holder
open by pushing the lever backwards (B). Insert the button.
Push the button holder forward until the button is locked in
place (C). The button will determine the length of the but-
tonhole. The distance between the button holder lever (B)
and the stopper (D) is the length of the buttonhole.
3. Attach the One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
4. Make sure that the thread is pulled though the hole in the
presser foot and placed under the foot.
5. Position your fabric under the presser foot so that the mark-
ing on the fabric is aligned with the center of the Button-
hole Foot (E).
6. Lower the Buttonhole Lever (F) all the way down, and push
it away from you. The buttonhole lever should fit between
the button holder lever (B) and the stopper (D).
7. Hold the end of the upper thread and start sewing. The
buttonhole is sewn from the front of the presser foot to the
back. Stop sewing when the buttonhole is finished.
8. Once the buttonhole is finished, raise the presser foot. Push
the buttonhole lever all the way up.
9. To secure the bartack, thread the end of the top thread into
a hand sewing needle, pull to the wrong side and tie the end
before cutting excess thread.
10. Use a seam ripper and cut the buttonhole open from both
ends towards the middle (G).
If you want to sew another buttonhole, do not push the button-
hole lever up when the buttonhole is finished. Instead, push it
away from you again. Sew another buttonhole.
Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a piece of scrap fabric.
