How to sew buttonholes
(one=step
buttonhole)
Buttonhole
sewing is a simple process that provides
reliable results.
However,
it is strongly
suggested
to
always
make a practice
buttonhole
on a sample
of
your fabric and interfacing.
Making a Buttonhole
1. Using
tailor's
chalk,
mark
the
position
of the
buttonhole on the fabric.
2. Attach
the buttonhole
foot and set the pattern
selector dial to "_ ", Bet stitch length dial to " _,,._,,,_,,,
".
Adjust stitch width to desired width.
3. Lower the presser foot aligning the marks on foot
with the marks on the fabric (A). (The front bar tack
will be sewn first.)
4. Open the button plate and insert the button (B).
5. Lower the buttonhole lever and gently push it back (C).
6. While lightly holding the upper thread, start the machine.
7. Buttonhole stitching is done in the order (D).
8. Stop the machine when the buttonhole is sewn.
Making
a Buttonhole
on Stretch
Fabrics (E)
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook heavy thread or cord
under the buttonhole
foot. When the buttonhole
is sewn the legs will
overcast the cord.
1. Mark the position of the buttonhole
on the fabric with the tailor's
chalk, attach the buttonhole foot, and set the pattern selector dial to
"_ ". Set stitch length dial to "_",:',','._
".
2. Hook the heavy thread onto the back end of the buttonhole foot, then bring the two heavy thread
ends to the front of the foot, insert them into the grooves and temporarily
tie them there.
3. Lower the presser foot and start sewing.
* Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the gimp thread.
4. Once sewing is completed,
gently pull the heavy thread to remove any slack, then trim off the
excess.
