SETTINGS:
Presser foot - caterpillar foot
Upper thread tension - 5 or -1
Examples of how these stitches are to be sewn and
used are shown below. You can use other decorative
stitches for the same purpose. You should do a test
on an extra piece of fabric to check the decorative
pattern you would like to use. Before you begin
sewing, check that there is enough thread on the
bobbin so that you will not run out of thread while
sewing. For the best results, reinforce your fabric
with a removable or rinsable stabiliser.
Tip: The lower thread should not appear on
the top side of the tissue; otherwise it could be
necessary to set the tension a little lower.

under the fabric in the region of the buttonhole.
For a trial, sew a buttonhole in a remnant of
your fabric. Try it out with the chosen button.
