Stitch density on the left and right sides of the button-
hole may be balanced by adjusting the buttonnoie bai-
ance knob K. Use the buttonhole balance Knob to
obtain similar stitch appearance on left and right sides

noticeable density change.
To change the density on either side of your test but-

your garment, be sure to make a test buttonhole on a
sample of your fabric to check that the stitch density
is similar on left and right sides of your buttonhole.
