Cutting Open Buttonhole
Place a pin just inside the bartack at each end to
prevent accidentally cutting bartacks. Cut
buttonhole open with the seam ripper.
Troubleshooting Tips
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.
Make sure there is not a gap between the slider
and the spring holder. If there is a gap, the sides
of the buttonhole will be different lengths t.
