Remove the fabric and place a pin just inside the
bartack at each end to prevent accidentally cutting
bartacks. Cut buttonhole open with the seam ripper.
When buttonhole sewing is finished, push the but-
tonhole lever upward as far as it will go.
If the button is extremely thick and difficult to fit
through the test buttonhole, you can lengthen the
buttonhole by pulling the buttonholder on the foot
back a little extra. The length of the hole will increase
by that same amount.
