Buttonholes
Sewingbuttonholesisveryeasywithall
the models with push button controls
sincethefabricdoesnothavetobe
turned.
Buttonholes are generally sewn onto
apieceofdoubledfabric.However,
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
alwayssewasamplebuttonhole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
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.
