40 – Sewing
Sew buttonholes perfectly sized for your button. The fabric
should be interfaced and/or stabilized where buttonholes are to
be sewn.
1. Mark the start position of the buttonhole on the fabric (A).
2. On the One-Step Buttonhole Foot, push the button holder
open by pushing the lever backwards (B). Insert the button.
Push the button holder forward until the button is locked in
place (C). The button will determine the length of the but-
tonhole. The distance between the button holder lever (B)
and the stopper (D) is the length of the buttonhole.
3. Attach the One-Step Buttonhole Foot.
4. Position your fabric under the presser foot so that the mark-
ing on the fabric is aligned with the red markings on the
sides of the Buttonhole Foot (E).
5. Lower the Buttonhole Lever (F) all the way down. The
buttonhole lever should t between the button holder lever
(B) and the stopper (D).
6. Hold the end of the upper thread and start sewing. The
buttonhole is sewn from the front of the presser foot to the
back. Stop sewing when the buttonhole is nished.
7. Once the buttonhole is nished, raise the presser foot. Push
the buttonhole lever all the way up.
8. Use a seam ripper cut the buttonhole open from both ends
towards the middle (G).
If you want to sew another buttonhole, do not push the but-
tonhole lever up when the buttonhole is nished. Sew another
buttonhole.
Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a piece of scrap fabric.
