not the same, you can make the following
adjustments.
1
Set the stitch length dial to " " and sew the
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric to
observe how the material is fed.

or fine, adjust the feeding of the material with
the Stitch Length Dial.

After obtaining a satisfactory feeding on the
right side, stitch the buttonhole and observe
the feeding.

If the left side is too coarse or fine compared
with the right side, adjust the buttonhole fine
adjustment screw as described below.
If the left side is too coarse, turn the buttonhole
fine adjustment screw with a large screwdriver
in the - direction.
If the left side is too fine, turn the buttonhole
fine adjustment screw with a large screwdriver
in the + direction.
