Cutting open buttonholes When you cut open a buttonhole it is important not to damage the bartacks. To avoid this, insert the seam ripper about 1 mm away from the bartack. Now carefully cut the buttonhole open to the middle, then repeat this from the bartack at the other end (Fig. 1). If you have no punch pliers to cut the eyelet, simply cut around the curve with a pair of pointed scissors. Sewing on buttons prog c -- 19,11 -2 2A Feed dog: dropped (prog 11) - Place the button on the mark made on the fabric beforehand and push the fabric with the button under the sewing foot holder or sewing foot (Fig. 2).

Turn the hand wheel and check to make sure the needle enters the right hole of the button. Now sew the button on. After tieing off the needle stops in its top position. Sewing on buttons with stems Place a match stick or a toothpick on the butto between the two holes and sew the button on a described (Fig. 3). Afterwards remove the matc stick, pull the button and fabric apart, then wra the stems with the threaded needle- and bobbi thread and knot the thread ends (Figs. 4, 5). To ensure that flat or small buttons do not sli away during sewing we recommend using th normal sewing foot and switching off the top fee For some buttons it is necessary to change th zigzag width. Finer settings for sewing on thes buttons can be made using program 11. In this case place the button in the way that th needle in right stitch position sticks into the rig hole of the button exactly.
