One Step Buttonhole Foot 5 1. Mark the position of the buttonhole on your project. 2. Attach buttonhole foot 5 and pull out the button holder plate (C). Insert the button. The button will determine the length of the buttonhole. 3. Make sure that the thread is pulled through the hole in the presser foot and placed under the foot. 4. Select the buttonhole you want to sew and adjust the width and density as desired (B). Note: Always sew a test buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric. 5. Position your project under the presser foot so that the marking on the fabric is aligned with the center of the buttonhole foot. 6. Lower the buttonhole lever (A) all the way down. Note: The machine will not start to sew if the buttonhole lever is not lowered properly or the frame of buttonhole foot is not positioned all the way forward. 7. Hold the end of the upper thread and start sewing. The buttonholes are sewn from the front of the presser foot to the back. 8. Once the machine has sewn the buttonhole, raise the presser foot. Corded Buttonhole Corded buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are more stable, durable and have a professional appearance. Use pearl cotton or a regular gimp thread. 1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or pearl cotton over the plastic bar extending from the center back of the 5 one step buttonhole foot. Pull the thread tails under the foot, towards the front, then secure around the finger at the front of the foot. 2. Stitch a buttonhole. The satin buttonhole columns will stitch over the cord. 3. When the buttonhole is finished, lift the cord off the finger and pull out the slack. 4. Cross the cord in front of the needle and thread cord ends into a large needle, pull to the wrong side and knot ends before cutting excess. 5. Use the seam ripper to carefully open the buttonhole. 5 53 Sewing
