 Manual  buttonhole
To sew a manual buttonhole, use presser foot 
5M. Sew the À rst column as long as you want the 
buttonhole. Touch the reverse button. The machine 
sews the bartack and the second column. When the 
columns are aligned, press the reverse button to sew 
the second bartack.
Repeat a manual buttonhole (25)
When you have adjusted your buttonhole, use the 
repeat buttonhole function (25), to sew identical 
copies. As long as that icon is selected, the machine 
will repeat the buttonhole over and over again. 
Repeat buttonhole is only visible when sewing a 
buttonhole manually.
To cancel the function, just deselect the icon. 
The repeat function will also be cancelled if any 
adjustments are made.
 Corded  buttonhole
Corded buttonholes that are sewn with gimp 
threads are more stable, durable and have a 
professional appearance. Use pearl cotton or a 
regular gimp thread.
1.  Place the center of a length of gimp thread over 
the metal bar extending from the center back 
of the sensormatic buttonhole foot 5A. Pass the 
thread ends under the foot and pull up into the 
right and left guides on the front of the presser 
foot.
2.  Snap on the sensormatic buttonhole foot 5A. 
Before starting to sew, make sure that the red 
arrow lines up with the marking on the foot.
3.  After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends 
of the gimp thread until the loop of thread is 
hidden below the buttonhole bartack.
4.  Thread the gimp threads into a needle and pull 
them to the wrong side of the garment. Tie the 
gimp threads and cut off the excess thread.
