Buttonholes
Sew ing buttonholes is very easy with all
the models with push button controls
si nce t he f abr i c d oes not hav e t o be
turned.
Buttonholes are generally sewn onto
a piece of doubl ed f abr i c. H ow ever,
for some fabrics, e.g. silk, organza and
viscose, it is necessary to use stabilizer to
prevent the fabric from contracting while
sewing.
To produce beautiful seams, embroidering
or darning threads are ideal.
Mark the starting point of the buttonhole
either with a magic pen or dress pin, and
al w ay s sew a sampl e but t onhol e À rst.
Note: Before starting any buttonhole, always
push the guide of the buttonhole foot fully to
the front, i.e. so that the red arrow is at the
À rst red mark. The red marks are arranged at
an interval of 0.5 cm. They are a guide when
determining the length of the buttonhole.
