Attach the buttonhole foot to the machine.
Draw the needle thread to the left between the foot

point by turning the handwheel.

Start the machine while pulling the needle thread
lightly to the left. After sewing a few stitches, free the
thread and continue sewing.

The sewing procedure is exactly the same as that for
