Sewing Buttonholes - Husqvarna Viking Tribute 140C 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 nd
descriptions of each buttonhole.
The Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature 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 One-
Step 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
t the selected button size. Because the Sensor One-Step
Buttonhole Foot measures as it sews, every buttonhole will
be the same size.
Note: The buttonhole size will vary with the thickness and style of
your button. Always stitch a sample buttonhole on scrap fabric rst.
1. Attach the Sensor One-Step 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 One-
Step 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 One-Step 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 One-Step
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 nished. The machine will stop
automatically when the buttonhole is complete.
