SEWING BUTTONHOLES AND BUTTONS

●
Always turn off the machine before
replacing the presser foot. Otherwise,

Memo
● We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on an actual garment.
● When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
Using tailor's chalk, mark the position and
1
length of the buttonhole on the fabric.

the correct orientation, the needle may
strike the presser foot, which may bend
or break the needle and cause injury.
(See page 8 for the correct presser foot
orientation.)
You need to sew the front bar tack first.
