Stitch Length: 0.2 Darning Thread: No.50 Filler Thread: cotton (pearl thread) Dial C=0 Lever E=0 Attach buttanhole foot No. 54300 and set slide on buttonhole gauge to buttonhole length desired. The buttonhole is the right length when beginning of first seam reaches red end of slide indicator (see arrow). The basic machine settings need not be changed in sewing a buttonhole. All special settings are made by simply pushing lever F up (foriying off) or down (for bartacking). You may use also the all-purpose sewing foot No. 51991. If you prefer more prominent but tonholes, put a filler cord in the R 8042 guide groove. To get the correct stitch length, sew on a piece of A scrap material. In making buttonholes in soft or loosely woven fabrics, it is advisable to place a piece of tissue paper under the material. To strengthen buttonholes in tricot and knit fabrics, insert a piece of firmly woven cotton material between the fabric layers. R 7994 4.4
