First of all, check if there is anything interfering with the movement of the foot. Maybe you are touching the fabric under the buttonhole foot and the fabric is touching the toe of the foot when you are sewing? You don't make buttonholes on a small piece of fabric. The whole project is behind your buttonhole foot as I have it in the video clip below.Maybe the fabric is touching the buttonhole lever? By the way, you have to check if you pulled the lever all the way down.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
