Sewing Buttonholes - Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 870 QUILT User Manual

Sewing buttonholes

The buttonholes in your sewing machine are specially adjusted
for different kinds of fabric and garments. Look at the stitch
table on the last pages in this book to fi nd descriptions of each
buttonhole.
The Sewing Advisor will select the best buttonhole and stitch
settings for your fabric. Fabric should be interfaced and/or
stabilized where buttonholes are to be sewn.
Automatic One-Step Sensor Buttonholes
When you select a buttonhole stitch with the Sensor Buttonhole
Foot connected, you will be able to set the size of the button on
the GraphicDisplay using the up and down arrow buttons. When
sewing, your sewing machine automatically sews the buttonhole
long enough to fi t the selected button size. Because the Sensor
Buttonhole Foot measures as it sews, every buttonhole will be the
same size.
The buttonhole size will vary with the thickness
NOTE:
and style of your button. Always stitch a sample
buttonhole on scrap fabric fi rst.
1. Attach the Sensor Buttonhole Foot.
2. Plug the cord into the socket above the needle area, behind
the light bulb.
3. Measure the button diameter using the button measuring
chart on the front of the machine.
4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the button size on
the GraphicDisplay. The size can be set between 0-50 mm.
5. Place the fabric and stabilizer under the Sensor Buttonhole
Foot. The measurement wheel can be raised by lifting it,
which makes it easier to place the fabric under the presser
foot. Use the markings on the left toe of the Sensor
Buttonhole Foot to position the garment edge. Place the edge
of the garment at the middle mark to have 5/8'' (15 mm)
from the edge to the buttonhole.
6. Before sewing, line up white area on the side of the red wheel
with the white marking line on the foot.
7. Step on the foot control. The Sensor Buttonhole Foot
lowers automatically. A straight stitch is sewn away from you
stabilizing the left buttonhole column, then the satin column
is sewn toward you. This is repeated for the right column.
The bartacks are also sewn automatically. The arrows on the
GraphicDisplay will show when each part of the buttonhole is
sewn and in what direction. Keep the foot control depressed
until the buttonhole is fi nished. The machine will stop
automatically when the buttonhole is complete.
