at the start of the buttonhole sewing.
The needle must be lowered at the
marked line for the beginning of the
buttonhole. See Fig. 1.

hole is reached, the presser foot and
guide foot will be in position shown
in Fig. 2.
The presser foot and guide foot will
be in position shown in Fig. 1 when

If the forward stitching does not
exactly match the reverse stitching
as shown in Fig. 3, slightly adjust the
stitch length control during forward
sewing.
Always make a practice buttonhole
on a scrap of fabric you plan to use.
Try the buttonhole with the button you
will use.
Use an interfacing between the layers
of fabric tissue paper can be used
and torn away after the stitching.
