Balancing the buttonhole
On some kinds of fabrics, there may be a difference in
the density of the stitches on the right or the left side
of the buttonhole. This is easily adjusted by turning
the balance knob (1) in the center of the stitch length
dial to balance the density of the stitching. A very
slight turn of the dial will produce a noticeable change.
* If the stitches on the right side of the buttonhole (1)
are too open, turn the balance dial slightly to the right,
until the density of the stitches increases.
* If the stitches on the left side of the buttonhole (11)
are too open, turn the balance slightly to the left, until
the density of the stitches increases.
After the buttonhole has been made and the balance
has been altered, return the balance dial back to its
neutral position after all the buttonholes on the
garment have been sewn.
