Manual buttonhole

If the buttonhole sensormatic guide has not been inserted the
buttonhole can be fi nished manually. First touch the reverse
man
button. The word "man" appears in the expression window.
Sew the forward buttonhole seam and press the reverse button
when you have reached the correct buttonhole size.
Before the reverse buttonhole seam is completed, the machine
will slow down. To complete the buttonhole with a second
bartack, press the reverse button once again. The machine will
sew the second bartack and complete the buttonhole. The word
"auto" appears in the window. All remaining buttonholes can
now be repeated fully automatically.
Note: The programming of the buttonhole is deleted when another
program is selected.
You can also place the last bartack manually, even after the
buttonhole has been programmed. Press the "reverse sewing"
button one time after you have stitched the fi rst bartack. The
word "man" appears in the window. This indicates a manual
fi nish of the buttonhole is desired. Before the left side of the
buttonhole ends, the machine will slow down. When the left
side of the buttonhole is the same length as the right side of the
buttonhole press the "reverse sewing" button (33) once again.
The second bartack will be sewn and complete the buttonhole.
The word "auto" appears in the window.

Keyhole buttonholes can be sewn with the buttonhole foot.
The keyhole buttonhole can be sewn fully automatically, semi-
automatically and manually.
Warning: The keyhole buttonhole must be sewn with the rounded end
towards the edge of your garment/project. However, the buttonhole
will begin sewing from the bartack end. It is important to fi rst mark
the length, measuring from the starting point inwards. Always sew
the buttonhole from the inside to the outside towards the edge.
Choose stitch 23 (22/2038). A standard keyhole buttonhole will
appear in the window along with the width, length and stitch
density indications. These settings can be altered,
Tip: Cut open all buttonholes with the seam ripper. Open the curve of
the keyhole buttonhole with a belt punch or awl.
