Pierce the fabric with the needle at the beginning of the buttonhole. NOTE: If you want buttonholes to be sewn at 1/2" (1.2 cm) from the fabric edge, line up the fabric with the 1/2" marking or the guide plate each time you start to sew a buttonhole. Interfacing is recommended when making buttonholes. If fabric does not feed smoothly from the start, increase the 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 its original position. To release the buttonhole base plate, pull the lever toward you and lift the base plate off the machine.
