Width
With the Slit Width function, you can set the width
of the slit between 0.1 and 2.0mm. If you make a
significant change to the slit width, you may also have
to adjust the stitch width and the stitch length.
TIP
Set a wide slit width for thick buttons on heavy
fabrics. To reinforce the buttonhole, increase the
stitch width and shorten the stitch length.
Set a narrow slit width for thin buttons on light
fabrics. To make the buttonhole lighter, reduce the
stitch width and increase the stitch length.
