Troubleshooting Tips
If the button is extremely thick and difficult to fit
through the test buttonhole, you can lengthen
the buttonhole by pulling the buttonholder on the
foot back a little extra. The length of the hole will
increase by that same amount.

and the spring holder. If there is a gap, the sides
of the buttonhole will be different lengths t.
