PLEASE NOTE:
• To sew the buttonholes 22 to 27, follow the same pro-
cedure as standard buttonhole (see pages 41 to - 42).
• The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing
a button in the rear of the buttonhole foot with slide R.
• The button holder of the foot takes a button size of up
to 1˝ (2.5 cm) in diameter.
• It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size
to match certain heavy or specific materials and
threads.
• Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric
to check your setting.
• Place the button on the fabric and mark the top and
bottom to determine the position of the buttonhole on
the fabric.
• Use interfacing on stretch fabrics.
