Utility stitches and practical sewing Buttonholes Sewing buttonholes is very easy with all the models with push button controls since the fabric does not have to be turned. Buttonholes are generally sewn onto a piece of doubled fabric. However, for some fabrics, e.g. silk, organza and viscose, it is necessary to use stabilizer to prevent the fabric from contracting while sewing. To produce beautiful seams, embroidering or darning threads are ideal. Mark the starting point of the buttonhole either with a magic pen or dress pin, and always sew a sample buttonhole Àrst. Note: Before starting any buttonhole, always push the guide of the buttonhole foot fully to the front, i.e. so that the red arrow is at the Àrst red mark. The red marks are arranged at an interval of 0.5 cm. They are a guide when determining the length of the buttonhole. stitch CBA 5 0/1 -- -- 1546 - Standard buttonhole • Insert the buttonhole foot and slide the foot forward as far as it will go. • Select stitch 1 (C) and sew the right side of the buttonhole to the required length.
