How to sew buttonholes / Coser ojales
Preparation:
Remove the zigzag foot and attach the buttonhole foot.
Adjust the stitch length dial between 0.5-1. The density of the stitch depends
on the thickness of the fabric.
Note: Always test sew a buttonhole.
To prepare the fabric:
Measure the diameter of the button and add 0.3 cm (1/8") for the bartacks.
If you have a very thick button add more to the diameter measurement.
Mark the position and length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
Position the fabric so that the needle is on the mark that is furthest from you.
Pull the buttonhole foot towards you as far as it will go.
Lower the foot.
Remove the fabric from under the foot. Draw the upper thread through the
backside and knot upper and lower threads. Cut the center of the buttonhole
with the seam ripper, being careful not to cut the stitches on either side.
Tips:
• Slightly reduce upper thread tension to produce better results.
• Use backing material for fine and stretchy fabrics.
• It is advisable to use a gimp cord for stretch or knit fabrics. The zigzag
should sew over the gimp.
