PROCEDURE

* Use an interfacing in the area of the garment where

buttonholes are placed. Stabilizer or regular interfacing can

be used.

* Make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of the actual fabric

from your project. Then try the buttonhole with your button.

1. Select one of buttonhole patterns.

2. Replace the presser foot with the buttonhole foot. (Refer to

"Changing presser foot" on page 24 - 25.)

3. Insert the button into the buttonhole foot. (Refer to "Using

buttonhole foot" above.

4. Lower the buttonhole lever (C) so that it drops down

vertically between the stoppers (A) and (B).

5. Carefully mark the position of buttonhole on your garment.

6. Place the fabric under the foot. Pull out the bobbin thread

underneath the fabric to a length of about 4 inches to the

rear.

7. Align the buttonhole mark on the fabric with the mark on

the buttonhole foot, and then lower the buttonhole foot.

8. While holding the top thread, start the machine.
