Double layer buttonhole
To make a sturdy buttonhole, sew another layer of
buttonhole stitches over the previous stitches.
After the buttonhole is finished, simply start the machine
again.
Do not raise the foot or buttonhole lever.
NOTE:
This function is disabled if Thread Cut after Auto-
Lock option is turned on in the ordinary sewing setting
mode (refer to page 99).

shown. When the buttonhole is finished, the machine
will stop automatically with the needle in the up
position.
Press the thread cutter button and remove the fabric.
Patterns B3 to B13 are sensor buttonholes and the
sewing procedure is the same as for buttonhole B1.
However, the sewing sequence varies depending on the
type of the buttonhole.
