[Fig. 1] Loosen the fixing screw and place the button on
the foot between the white posts of the foot and the
black prong of the fixing screw. Slide the fixing screw
toward the back of the foot until it is snug against the
button. Tighten the fixing screw and remove the button.
Attach the buttonhole foot to the presser foot holder
with the fixing screw toward you.
Pull the buttonhole foot completely forward [Fig. 2]. Mark
the buttonhole position on your fabric with a wash-out
marker [Fig. 3]. Place the fabric underneath the foot
aligning the needle with the starting point on the fabric.
Lower the foot.
1. Turn the stitch selector dial to the yellow buttonhole
illustration marked number 1. Sew until the white
posts meet the fixing screw post [Fig. 4]. Stop sewing
and raise the needle to its highest position.
2. Set the stitch selector dial to the yellow buttonhole
illustration marked number 2. Sew several stitches to
make the first bar tack of the buttonhole. Stop sewing
and raise the needle to its highest position.
3. Set the stitch selector dial to the yellow buttonhole
illustration marked number 3. Sew until the needle
returns to the back of the presser foot [Fig. 5]. Stop
sewing and raise the needle to its highest position.
4. Set the stitch selector dial to the yellow buttonhole
illustration marked number 4. Sew the final bartack .
Raise the needle to the highest position and raise the
presser foot. Remove the fabric [Fig. 6] and trim the
thread ends near the stitching.
Using the seam ripper, carefully cut an opening in the
middle of the buttonhole [Fig. 7]. Be careful not to cut
any stitches. You may want to put a straight pin across
both ends of the buttonhole to help prevent cutting the
buttonhole bartacks.
