9.9 Determining the buttonhole length with Buttonhole Foot #3C
When the Buttonhole Foot #3C is used, the buttonhole length must be determined via the function Stitch
Counter. The stitch counter function is suitable for all types of buttonholes. The left buttonhole bead is sewn

counter function has to be saved for every buttonhole separately.

pushed again.
