Buttonholes and Specialty Stitches

Variety of buttonholes

Sensor (Square) buttonhole

This square buttonhole is widely used on medium to heavy weight fabrics.

The buttonhole size is automatically determined by placing a button in the foot.

Auto (Square) buttonhole

This is also a square buttonhole similar to the sensor square buttonhole, but you can

manually set the buttonhole size and the machine memorizes it to sew buttonholes of

the same size.

Round end buttonhole

This buttonhole is used on fine to medium weight fabrics especially for blouses and

children's clothes.

Fine fabric buttonhole

This buttonhole is rounded at both ends and is used on fine, delicate fabrics such as

fine silk.

Keyhole buttonhole

The keyhole buttonhole is widely used on medium to heavy weight fabrics. It is also

suitable for larger and thicker buttons.

Stretch buttonhole

This buttonhole is suitable for stretch fabrics. It can also be used as a decorative

buttonhole.

NOTE:

B3-B6 are sensor buttonholes and the sewing procedure is the same as for B1.
