Automatic buttonholes
1. Snap on the buttonhole sensor
foot. Make sure that the cable is
fi rmly plugged into the yellow
socket (see picture).
The symbol will fl ash until a
buttonhole is selected.
2. Select a buttonhole on the stitch
panel. The buttonhole will be
pre-set for a 16 mm button when
the machine is turned on. The
number 16 is therefore shown on
the display in place of the stitch
length together with the symbol
.
3. If you are using a different size
button, measure the button on
the buttonhole rule below and
set the correct size with the stitch
length buttons (+) or (-). The size
will change by 2 mm at a time.
4. Turn the measurement wheel so
that the white area is lined up
with the white mark. When the
measurement wheel is correctly
set, the circle in the symbol
will stop fl ashing. If the circle or
the whole symbol is fl ashing
NOTE: Always stitch a sample but-
tonhole on scraps of the garment
fabric to check size before sewing
buttonholes on the garment.
Changing the density/stitch length
To change the stitch density of the
buttonhole columns, adjust the
length setting of the stitch. Unplug
the buttonhole sensor. The stitch
length will then be shown on the
Infodisplay again and you will be
able to adjust the density of the
buttonhole. When you plug in the
buttonhole sensor foot, the display
goes back to showing the size of the
buttonhole, but remembers the new
stitch length setting.
Place the button as shown on the
circles on the picture and you can
easily see the size needed for your
buttonhole.
Sewing
Buttonhole size
5. The machine will sew the correct
size buttonhole for the button
size you have selected. The
buttonhole will be sewn in one
step, and when the buttonhole is
completed the machine will stop
automati-cally.
