c
Position the fabric so that the opening of the
pocket moves toward you during sewing.
Hold the outside frame of the buttonhole foot
toward the back with your finger, check the
first needle drop point, and then lower the
presser foot.
a First needle drop point: 2 mm (approx. 1/16 inch)
Note
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole foot
backward as far as possible, making sure that there
is no gap behind the part of the foot marked "A", as
shown in the illustration. If the buttonhole foot is not
slid back as far as possible, the bar tack will not be
sewn at the correct size.
• Pass the thread under the presser foot.
d
Pull down the buttonhole lever.

the metal bracket on the buttonhole foot, as shown
in the illustration.

before sewing, the machine will automatically cut
the thread at the end of stitching.
