IMPORTANT
• When attaching and removing buttonhole foot “A+”, do
not apply excessive force to the presser foot, otherwise
it may be damaged. In addition, be careful not to hit the
needle when attaching and removing buttonhole foot
“A+”.
• Before attaching the presser foot, check that
there is enough thread in the bobbin.
• Sew trial stitches on fabric that is the same as
that used in your project, referring to “Fabric/
Thread/Needle Combinations” on page 34.
• The built-in camera detects the position of
buttonhole foot “A+”. Do not touch the camera.
(Refer to “Names of Machine Parts” on
page 13.)
• Do not peel the “A+” sticker off buttonhole foot
“A+” or cover the sticker with the upper thread,
etc., otherwise the camera cannot detect the
presser foot or buttonholes cannot be sewn.
• If the fabric does not feed correctly, such as
when sewing stretchy fabrics, install the
buttonhole foot stabilizer. (page 90)
• The maximum buttonhole length is about 47
mm (approx. 1-3/4 inches) (diameter +
thickness of the button).
• The size of the buttonhole is determined by
the size of the button in the button holder
plate. If the button does not fit in the button
holder plate, refer to page 89.
• After lowering the presser foot, make sure that
there is no gap in 1.
