Measure marking on the guide plate
(_) Fabric
Mark the buttonhole position carefully on the fabric. Place
the fabric behind the machine, insert the fabric between the
guide plate and the buttonhole foot as illustrated. Align
marked buttonhole (_ with center marking on buttonhole
foot _). Line up the fabric edge with the measure marking
on the guide plate @just in front of the buttonhole foot as
shown. Pierce the fabric with the needle at the beginning of
the buttonhole.
NOTE:
If yOUwant buttonholes to be sewn at 1/2" (1.2 cm) from
the fabric edge, line up the fabric with the 1/2 markings
each time you start to sew a buttonhole. Interfacing is
recommended when making buttonholes. If fabric is not
fed smoothly from the start, increase stitch length.
Lower the buttonhole foot. Start sewing slowly. Allow the
machine to do the work by itself, i.e., do not try to guide
fabric. Stop sewing when the needle returns to the position
where it began. To release the buttonhole base plate, pull
the lever toward you and lift the base plate off the machine.
