If a buttonhole is sewn at right angles to the fabric edge/fold, we recommend the use of the height compensating plates for buttonholes (available as optional accessory). Place the plates from the back between fabric and bottom of slide foot up to the thick part of the fabric and push to front. When all buttonholes have been sewn, return balance to the normal setting! 033301.70.04_1007_B330_B350_B380_EN
