SEWING THE STITCHES Note • Pass the thread underneath the presser foot. • Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole foot backward as far as possible as shown in the illustration, making sure that there is no gap behind the part of the foot marked "A". If the buttonhole foot is not slid back as far as possible, the buttonhole will not be sewn at the correct size. Memo • If automatic thread cutting is turned on before you start sewing, both threads are automatically cut after the reinforcement stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed (for example, because it is too thick), increase the stitch length setting. g Insert a pin along the inside of one bar tacks, and then insert the seam of the ripper into the center of the buttonhole and cut towards the pin. e Lower the buttonhole lever so that it is positioned behind the metal bracket on the buttonhole foot. a Buttonhole lever a Metal bracket f Gently hold the end of and then start sewing. the upper thread, * Feed the fabric carefully by hand while the buttonhole is sewn. a Basting pin b Seam ripper CAUTION • When using the seam ripper to open the buttonhole, do not put your hand or finger in the path of the ripper.
