button. Pass the thread through the hole in the

Adjust the stitch width and length to the desired width and density.
8. Position the fabric under the presser
foot so that the drawn center line
is aligned with the center of the
buttonhole foot (1).
9. Push the Start/Stop button. While
the buttonhole lever is raised, an
error message will be displayed to
remind you to lower the buttonhole
lever. Pull down the buttonhole
lever as far as possible until it clicks
into place.
10. Hold the end of the upper thread in your hand and start sewing. After
the buttonhole has been sewn, the machine sews a securing stitch
automatically and then stops.

NOTE: We will use this same buttonhole to stitch the corded buttonhole
on the next page.
