Sew 4-step Buttonholes
EN
Prepare
1. Take off the all purpose foot and attach the buttonhole foot.
2. Measure diameter and thickness of button and add 0.3cm
(1/8") for bartacks to obtain correct buttonhole length; mark
buttonhole size on fabric (a).
3. Place fabric under the foot, so that marking on the
buttonhole foot aligns with starting marking on fabric. Lower
the foot, so that the buttonhole center line marked on the
fabric aligns with the center of the buttonhole foot
Note:
Density varies according to the fabric.
Always test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are using
to sew the buttonhole.
Follow the 4-step sequence changing from one step to
another with the Pattern Selector Dial. When moving from
step to step through the buttonhole process, be sure that the
needle is raised before turning the Pattern Selector Dial to
the next step. Take care not to sew too many stitches in
steps 1 and 3. Use seam ripper and cut buttonhole open
from both ends towards the middle.
Tips:
- Slightly reducing upper thread tension will produce better
results.
- Use a stabilizer for fine or stretchy fabrics.
- It is advisable to use heavy thread or cord for stretch or
knit fabrics. The zig-zag should sew over the heavy thread
or cord. (A)
