Various Kinds of Buttonholes and Their Uses

q Square Buttonhole
This square buttonhole is widely used on medium to
heavy fabrics. The buttonhole size is automatically
determined by placing a button in the foot.
w Round-end Buttonhole
This buttonhole is used on fine to medium weight
fabrics, especially for blouses and children's clothes.
e Keyhole Buttonhole
The keyhole buttonhole is widely used on medium to
heavy fabrics. It is also suitable for larger and thicker
buttons.
NOTES:
• To sew the buttonholes 05 to 07, follow the same
procedure as Square BH (See page 26 to 27.).
• The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing
a button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R.
• The button holder of the foot takes a button size of up
to 1˝ (2.5 cm) in diameter.
• It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size
to match certain heavy or specific materials and
threads.
• Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric
to check your setting.
• Place the button on the fabric and mark the top and
button to determine the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric.
• Use interfacing on stretch fabrics.
