Start sewing.
The machine will stop automatically after sewing the buttonhole.
* If a buttonhole of the same size will be sewn again, push the
thread trimming button to trim the threads and raise the press-
er foot.
Under this condition move to another point, lower the presser
foot and then start sewing.
* Do not change stitch length and/or zigzag width during button-
holing.
Otherwise this will cause imbalanced stitches.
* If thread trimming button is pushed while sewing buttonhole,
the machine will stop and will not complete the buttonhole. It
will start to sew from the beginning.
* Depending on material to be sewn and weaving direction of the ma-
terial, there might be a slight difference in zigzag widths between right
and left lines of buttonholes. Test sewing is recommended.
Opening the buttonhole using a ripper.
Ripper
[double bartack]
Pierce a stopper pin at the bartack and open the buttonhole with a
ripper.
Be careful not to cut the stitches.
[Keyhole buttonhole]
Eyelet punch
Place a cardboard under the buttonhole and make a hole with the
eyelet punch.
Then pierce a stopper pin at the bartack and open the buttonhole with
a ripper.
* The icon on the screen will disappear
when the lever is correctly set.
