IMPORTANT
For Perfect Matching Buttonholes
Here are some helpful tips.
(For details, follow the steps and notes on pages 66 and 67, carefully.)
t. Make sure you have a fiat sewing surface.
* Use the extension table.
*Put cabinet-mounted machines in the flat-bed posltion_
* For table-top machines, support the fabric by hand.
2. Use the B Foot for sewing next to a thick seam.
3. Make sure the fabric around the needle and foot is slack.
* Do Not push or pull the fabric.
* Do bunch the fabric slightly all around the needle and foot to create
slack,
4. Sew several practice buttonholes, duplicating exactly:
*the fabric
*the seam conditions
* the buttonhole position on the garment
