Preparation:
Remove the zigzag foot and attach the buttonhole foot. Adjust the stitch length dial between
0.5-1. The density of the stitch depends on thickness of the fabric.
Note: Always test sew a buttonhole.
To prepare the fabric:
Measure the diameter of the button and add 0.3 cm (1/8") for the bartacks. If you have a very
thick button, add more to the diameter measurement. Mark the position and length of the
buttonhole on the fabric.
Position the fabric so that the needle is on the mark that is furthest from you.
Pull the buttonhole foot towards you as far as it will go.
Lower the foot.
a. Turn the pattern selector dial to . Sew at moderate speed until you reach the end mark.
b. Turn the pattern selector dial to and sew 5-6 bartack stitches.
c. Turn the pattern selector dial to and sew the left side of the buttonhole to the mark at
the end which is further from you.
d. Turn the pattern selector dial to and sew bar tack stitches.
Remove the fabric from under the foot. Draw the upper thread through the backside of the
fabric and knot upper and lower threads. Cut the center of the buttonhole with the seam
ripper, being careful not to cut the stitches on either side.
Tips:
Slightly reduce upper thread tension to produce better results.
Use backing material for fine and stretchy fabrics.
It is advisable to use a gimp cord for stretch or knit fabrics. The zigzag should sew over
the gimp.
