Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole
foot backward as far as possible as shown in
the illustration, making sure that there is no
gap behind the part of the foot marked “A”. If
the buttonhole foot is not slid back as far as
possible, the buttonhole will not be sewn at
the correct size.

Memo
If automatic thread cutting is turned on before
you start sewing, both threads are automati-
cally cut after the reinforcement stitches are
sewn. If the fabric does not feed (for example,
because it is too thick), increase the stitch
length setting.
CAUTION
When using the seam ripper to open the
buttonhole, do not put your hand or finger in the
path of the ripper. The ripper may slip and cause
injury. Do not use the seam ripper in any other
way than how it is intended.
