STITCH COUNTER BUTTONHOLES

Owner's manual pg.____
• Fold the fabric in half to 3" x 6".
• Mark a parallel line 2" from the fold and a second one 1" from the fold.
• Mark two lines perpendicular to the fold, spacing them about 2" apart.
• Select standard buttonhole #9.
• Position the beginning of the buttonhole on the line closest to the fold.
• Sew the first bead and stop stitching at the second line.
• Press the quick reverse button - as you stitch, the bottom bartack and second bead are sewn.
• Stop the machine even with the first stitch of the first bead - press quick reverse.
• The machine sews the top bartack, ties the stitches off and stops automatically.
• Auto appears on the screen and the buttonhole is programmed.
Notes:
- The first bead is sewn forward, the second bead backward.
- The buttonhole must be reprogrammed after altering stitch length, width
or balance.
- Practice using the fabric and stabilizer to be used in the finished project.
- Stitch buttonholes at consistent speed.
• Trim threads close and mount the sample.
