Four-Step Buttonholing - Singer 6233 Manual

SECTION 5 Four-Step Buttonholing
Your machine makes buttonholes in four easy steps.
' You never need to move the fabric or
reposition the needle.
. Always make a practice buttonhole on a
sample of your fabric.
. Be sure bobbin contains enough thread.
. When making buttonholes on hard-to-
reach areas convert machine bed to free
arm sewing.
. Mark buttonhole position on fabric as indi-
cated in pattern.
. When sewing delicate fabrics, place a
piece of paper over the fabric when
positioning the garment. Lower the
presser foot and slip the paper out
from under the foot. This will prevent
the teeth on the underside of the foot
from picking and pulling the fabric.
