Buttonholes

To sew buttonholes we recommend the
buttonhole foot. The buttonhole foot has a
slide that is adjustable for different sizes of
buttons. Put the button on the foot and push
the slide together as far as it will go. The
machine sews the fi rst column in reverse.
Stop the machine when the red mark on the
slide has reached the beginning of the stitch-
ing.
Use the markings on the left toe of the but-
tonhole 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.
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics
we recommend cording the buttonhole to
increase the stability and to keep the button-
hole from stretching out. For a corded but-
tonhole loop a piece of heavy thread around
the fi nger at the back of the buttonhole foot
as illustrated.
