Sewing Techniques

Three-Step Zigzag Stitch

Three-step zigzag stitch is used to overcast raw edges.
Make sure the needle pierces the fabric on the left side
and overcasts the edge on the right side. The stitch can
also be used as an elastic stitch to allow seams to stretch
when sewing knit fabrics.

Buttonholes

Your machine's buttonholes are specially adjusted for
different kinds of fabric and garments. Look at the stitch
table on in this book to find descriptions of each
buttonhole.
The fabric should be interfaced and/or stabilized where
buttonholes are to be sewn.
One Step Buttonhole Foot 5
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on your project.
2. Attach buttonhole foot 5 and pull out the button
holder plate (C). Insert the button. The button will
determine the length of the buttonhole.
3. Make sure that the thread is pulled through the hole
in the presser foot and placed under the foot.
4. Select the buttonhole you want to sew and adjust the
width and density as desired (B).
Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a scrap piece of
fabric.
5. Position your project under the presser foot so that
the marking on the fabric is aligned with the center
of the buttonhole foot.
6. Lower the buttonhole lever (A) all the way down.
Note: The machine will not start to sew if the buttonhole
lever is not lowered properly or the frame of buttonhole
foot is not positioned all the way forward.
7. Hold the end of the upper thread and start sewing.
The buttonholes are sewn from the front of the
presser foot to the back.
8. Once the machine has sewn the buttonhole, raise the
presser foot.
