8.8 Determining the buttonhole length
The button can be centered in the yellow circle in the lower portion of the display. The yellow circle can
be enlarged or downsized with the «Multifunctional knobs up/down» and the diameter of the button
can be determined in this way.
Additionally to the diameter of the button, 2 mm are added automatically for the buttonhole length. If the
diameter of the button is 14 mm, the buttonhole length is calculated 16 mm.
> Touch the icon «Buttonholes».
> Select the buttonhole.
> Touch the icon «i»-Dialog.
> Touch the icon «Adjusting the buttonhole length».
> Turn the «Upper Multifunctional knob» or the «Lower Multifunctional knob» to adjust the buttonhole
length.
> Touch the yellow-framed icon to reset the alteration to basic setting.
8.9 Using the stitch counter function
The stitch counter function is suitable for all types of buttonholes. The left buttonhole bead is sewn forward,
the right buttonhole bead is sewn in reverse. If alterations of the balance are made, the stitch counter
function has to be saved for every buttonhole separately.
Prerequisite:
• The Buttonhole foot No. 3C (optional accessory) is attached.
> Touch the icon «Buttonholes».
> Select the buttonhole.
> Touch the icon «i»-Dialog.
> Touch the icon «Stitch counter buttonhole».
> Sew the desired buttonhole length.
> Stop the machine.
> Press the button «Quick reverse» so that the machine sews the lower bartack and the second bead in
reverse.
> Stop the machine at the height of the first stitch.
> Press the button «Quick reverse» again so that the machine sews the upper bartack and the securing
stitches.
– The length of the buttonhole remains saved and every subsequent buttonhole is sewn identically until
the machine is switched off.
