Operation Manual

Step by Step Buttonhole
Use the step by step buttonhole when the
fabric is too narrow and/or uneven for the
wheel on the Sensor Buttonhole Foot to
turn smoothly.
• Select a buttonhole and snap on Button-
hole Foot C.
• When you begin sewing the buttonhole,
the machine will sew the left column in
reverse. The buttonhole foot has guide
lines to determine the buttonhole length.
Use the guide lines on the left toe of
the Buttonhole Foot to position the gar-
ment edge. When the buttonhole has the
desired length, touch
. The machine
will bartack the end and stitch the right
side.
• Touch
to bartack and tie off. Keep
the foot control depressed until the
machine ties off and stops sewing.
• To repeat more buttonholes with the
same size, press
STOP to save the settings.
Buttonhole Density
To change the stitch density of both but-
tonhole columns, increase stitch length (+)
to make stitch columns less dense. Decrease
stitch length (-) to make stitch columns
more dense. Both columns will be adjusted.
Corded Buttonhole (Stretch Fabrics)
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics
it is recommended to cord the buttonhole
to increase the stability and to keep the but-
tonhole from stretching out.
• Loop a piece of heavy thread (button-
hole thread) or perle cotton over the
À nger at the back of the Sensor Button-
hole Foot or Buttonhole Foot C.
The markings on the left toe gives a 5/8''
(15 mm) buttoning edge
