Sewing a 4-Step Buttonhole

Stitch Selector Dial
1. Remove the All Purpose Foot and attach the Buttonhole Foot (see
page 26). Set the Stitch Selector Dial so that step 1 of the buttonhole
symbol is directly below the blue arrow.
2. Set the Stitch Length Dial control so that the buttonhole range is
directly below the blue arrow.
3. Set the Stitch Width Dial control so that number 5 is directly in front of
the blue arrow.
4. Place the fabric under the foot so that the marking on the Buttonhole
Foot aligns with the start of the buttonhole and that the center line
marked on the fabric aligns with the center hole of the Buttonhole
Foot.
5. Lower the presser foot, and sew step 1 of the buttonhole until you
arrive at the bottom of the buttonhole. Turn the hand wheel toward you
to raise the needle out of the fabric.
6. Set the Stitch Selector Dial so that step 2 of the buttonhole symbol is
directly below the blue arrow. Sew 4 to 5 stitches across the bottom of
the buttonhole; this is called a bar tack.
7. Set the Stitch Selector Dial so that step 3 of the buttonhole symbol is
directly below the blue arrow. Sew up the left side of the buttonhole.
8. Set the Stitch Selector Dial so that step 4 of the buttonhole symbol is
directly below the blue arrow. Sew 4 to 5 stitches across the top of the
buttonhole to form the bar tack.
