Eyelet buttonholes are often sewn in outerwear,
such as jackets, coats or casual wear. They should
always be sewn with backing material under
neath. In spite of this, a piece of paper should be
placed underneath during sewing.
The buttonhole must be 3mm longer than the dia
meter of the button, plus its height. The distance
from the front edge should be equal to the button
hole width. First mark the spacings and the dis
tance from the edge. Mark the buttonhole length
from this point to the inside. Sewing is then always
begun from the inside to the outside towards the
edge.
16 buttonholes are stored in the computer, from
10 to 40mm
On program selection a programmed buttonhole
length of 22 mm and a buttonhole width of 6 mm
appear in the display Select the length of the but
tonhole using stitch-length keys 7 (Fig. 1). The
machine will automatically sew the selected but
tonhole.
Before beginning the buttonhole pull the runner
of the buttonhole foot fully to the front.

Correcting a buttonhole
If a buttonhole does not turn out well, cancel it b
pressing "pattern start" key 26 and sew it again.
Changing the buttonhole width
For every type of fabric, the corresponding but
tonhole width can be determined from 5.5 to 8.E
mm, For heavy materials select a wide buttonhole
and for light materials a narrow one. With stitch
width keys 8, you determine the required button
hole width. The length of the cut changes automa
tically (Fig. 7).
A buttonhole width of 6 mm is now stored.
Adapting the buttonhole seam
lengths with the balance keys
With "balance" keys 5 the left buttonhole sean'
length can be adapted to the right one.
Sew a sample buttonhole first.
Example:
If the left seam is too short
(Fig. 8d)
Select balance +1 to +3 with key, or more ii
required.
If the left seam is too long
(Fig. 8e)
Select balance —1 to —2 with key, or more ii
required.
