Buttonholing
Your machine

You never need to move the fabric or
reposition the needle.
.
Always make a
practice

sample
of
your
fabric.
.
Be sure bobbin contains enough thread.
.
When making buttonholes on hard-to-
reach
areas convert

sewing
delicate fabrics,

a
piece
of
paper
over the fabric when
positioning
the
garment.
Lower
