Pull open the buttonholder q to the back and place the
button in it. Push the holder together tightly around the
button.
Placing the button in the automatic buttonhole foot (R)

0.5 cm (3/16˝) and 2.5 cm (1˝).

Pull the buttonhole lever down as far as it will go.
NOTE: The machine stops sewing and shows warning
message "bL" if the buttonhole lever is not lowered when
sewing buttonholes. Pull down the buttonhole lever and
start sewing.
Mark the buttonhole area on the fabric. Place both
threads to the left under the foot. Insert the garment
under the foot and hand turn the flywheel to lower the
needle at the starting point. Then lower the buttonhole
foot.
While sewing the buttonhole, the LED readout flashes
which portion is currently being sewn.
A flashing "." in the LED readout signals that the
buttonhole is finished. Raise the presser foot and the "."
disappears.
NOTE: If presser foot is not raised and another stitch is
selected, the warning message "UP" will appear.
