Buttonholes are sewn from the front of the
presser foot to the back, as shown.
Raise the presser foot and cut thread. When raise
the presser foot, the needle will return to original
position in order to sew over same buttonhole.
After sewing the buttonhole stitch, raise the
buttonhole lever until it stops.
Cut the center of the buttonhole being careful not
to cut any stitches on either side. Use a pin as a
stopper at the bar tack so you do not cut too
much.
Making a buttonhole on stretch
fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric, hook
heavy thread or cord under the button-hole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot and hook the gimp
thread onto the back of the presser foot.
Bring the two cord thread ends to the front of the
foot and insert them into the grooves, then
temporarily tie them there. Lower the presser
foot and start sewing.
Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the
gimp thread.
Once sewing is completed, pull the gimp thread
gently to remove any slack, then trim off any
excess.
Please note: It is suggested that you use
interfacing on the backside of the fabric.
