Manual Buttonhole

Make a manual buttonhole to sew oversized buttonholes
for novelty buttons or a decorative accent.
Always make a test buttonhole on extra fabric before
sewing on your fabric.
HINT: Sew slowly to make accurate manual buttonholes.
• Use a narrow stith width (4) for a finer buttonhole, a
wider stitch width(6.5) for a more substantial
buttonhole.
• Use a shorter stitch length (0.5) for finer fabrics, a
longer stitch length (1) for heavier fabrics.

1. Pull the buttonhole lever
Mark the buttonhole area on the fabric. Insert the
fabric under the foot and turn the flywheel until the
needle comes down into the fabric through the
buttonhole mark line. Lower the presser foot.
2. The machine will sew the front bartack and zigzag
backwards on left side. When the left side is the
desired length, STOP, pull the buttonhole lever
forward.
3. Sew the back bartack and zigzag forward on right
side. When the right side reaches the front bartack,
STOP. Raise the presser foot and remove fabric. Cut
threads at least 10 cm (4") long. Pull the needle
thread to the wrong side of the fabric. Knot the
threads.
To sew another buttonhole, turn the stitch selection knob
in either direction to an adjacent stitch and then re-set it
to the buttonhole.
4. When buttonhole sewing is finished, push the
buttonhole lever upward as far as it will go.
To cut the buttonhole open or to fine adjust buttonhole
