Buttonhole

TIP
To determine the correct stitch length, we recommend you sew a
test buttonhole on a scrap of fabric.

• Set the foot and needle to their highest position. Replace the foot
with the buttonhole sewing foot.
• On the fabric, mark where you want to sew the buttonhole and
its length. Use a pencil or tailor's chalk.
How to proceed
• Use the programme selection dial (6) to select programme S to
sew the left bar.
• Pass the upper thread through the opening on the buttonhole
sewing foot and pull both the upper and lower thread to the left-
hand side. Lower the foot and sew slowly until you have achie-
ved the desired length for the side bar.
• Raise the needle to its highest position and change to program-
me S for the bottom bar.
• Sew a few stitches of the bottom bar.
• Raise the needle to its highest position again and change to pro-
gramme U for the right-hand bar.
• Now sew the right-hand bar with exactly the same length as the
left-hand side.
• Raise the needle to its highest position and select programme T
again for the top bar.
• Then sew a few stitches for the top bar, like you did for the bot-
tom bar.
• At the end, you are advised to set the stitch length to "0" and sew
a few more stitches so that the threads are better connected and
the buttonhole does not fray so quickly.
• Then use the knife provided to cut the fabric between the stit-
ches. Do this carefully to ensure you do not damage any of the
bars.
TIP
Pin a safety pin in front of the top bar to stop you cutting through it.
