Buttonholes
The JoyOS ADVISOR™ feature will select the best
buttonhole and stitch settings for your chosen fabric. Fabric
should be interfaced and/or stabilized where buttonholes are
to be sewn.
Tip: In your accessory tray there is a special hook where you can hang
your Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
Sew a test buttonhole on a fabric scrap to verify the desired
length of the buttonhole.
Measure the desired distance from the fabric edge and then
add the length of your buttonhole.
When sewing, place the finished fabric edge with stabilizer
underneath the presser foot, facing away from you.
Use the marking on your fabric to position the starting point.
Manual Buttonhole
Sewing direction for buttonholes without satin stitches or satin stitch buttonholes
sewn with presser foot C.
Manual buttonholes are recommended for woven heavy
fabric. To sew a manual buttonhole, use the buttonhole foot
C.
1. Sew the first column as long as you want the buttonhole
to be.
2. Touch the reverse button. The machine sews the bartack
and the second column.
3. When the columns are aligned, touch the reverse button
to sew the second bartack.
4. Touch the STOP function to sew the same length
repeatedly.
Automatic Buttonhole
Sewing direction for satin stitch buttonholes sewn with the Sensor One-Step
Buttonhole Foot.
When sewing buttonholes on woven light, woven medium,
stretch light or vinyl fabric you can use the Sensor One-Step
Buttonhole Foot. The Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot will
sew automatic buttonholes. Read about how to attach the
Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
Corded Buttonhole
Corded buttonholes are recommended when sewing
buttonholes on stretch medium or stretch heavy fabric. Use
gimp threads for a more stable durable and professional
appearance. Use pearl cotton or a regular gimp thread. Attach
the buttonhole foot C and use the finger on the back of the
foot for holding the cord when sewing.
