• Fuse interfacing to the wrong side of the base fabric.
• Attach Automatic Buttonhole Foot with Slide #3A to the artista.
• Select straight stitch buttonhole #59.
STEP 1
• Lay the patch fabric, right side down, on the right side of the base fabric.
• Adjust stitch length to 1.5mm and stitch width to 7mm-8mm.
• Stitch the buttonhole through both layers of fabric, making a rectangle as long as the foot will allow.
• Slash open the buttonhole as for a traditionally-stitched bound buttonhole.
• Pull the patch fabric through the buttonhole to the wrong side of the base fabric.
STEP 2
• Carefully press the slashed raw edges and patch toward the center of the buttonhole.
• Encasing the raw edges, fold the patch fabric over to create the "lips" of the buttonhole. Press.
STEP 3
• Carefully lay the buttonhole with the pressed "lips" under the buttonhole foot.
• Increase the stitch width slightly, to 7.5mm-8.5mm.
• Stitch the buttonhole again; you will be "stitching-in-the-ditch" of the previous buttonhole sides.
• Use the Automatic Thread Cutter to cut the threads.
STEP 4
• For a finishing touch, add a decorative stitch to buttonhole ends.
• Stitch another Mock Bound Buttonhole on the base fabric, this time embellishing the ends with one
of the fly stitches, #26 and #27, or with stitch #401.
