First draw the spacings and the distance from the edge This point always marks the beginning of sewing Ten buttonhole lengths are stored in the compu ter. from 7,0 to 16 mm. On program selection a programmed buttonhole length of 14 mm and a buttonhole width of 4 mm appear in the display. Select the length of the but tonhole using stitch length keys 7 (Fig. 1) The machine will automatically sew the selected but tonhole Before beginning the buttonhole pull the runner of the buttonhole foot fully to the front. For the following buttonholes it is best to lift the fabric a httle in order not to affect teeding The sewing speed should always be the same Correcting a buttonhole If a buttonhole does not turn out well, cancel it by pressing "pattern start" key 26 and sew it again Changing the buttonhole width For every type of fabric, the corresponding but tonhole width can be determined up to 5.5 mm. For heavy materials select a wide buttonhole and for light materials a narrow one. With stitch width keys 8, you determine the required buttonhole width. The length of the cut changes automati cally (Fg 5) A buttonhole width of 4mm is stored 78 Adapting the buttonhole seam lengths with the balance keys Wilh "balance" keys 5 the left buttonhole seam length can be adapted to the ught one Sew a sample buttonhole first. Example' If the left seam is too short tFig. 4a) Select balance 4-1 to 4-3 with key, or more if required. If the left seam is too long (Fig 4b) Select balance -1 to -2 with key, or more if required. • Sew the first buttonhole seam at the required length and • the first bartack. • Press balance keys 5, "-f' or" ", and adjust the second buttonhole seam length to the first one (Figs. 4a, 4b). • Sew last bartack. The change made in this way will be main tained for the following buttonholes. 2 R Determining the second bartack (semi-automatic) If you wish to determine the second bartack in a programmed buttonhole, press "tie off/button hole" key 19 (Fig. 2) A dash flashes in display 21 (Fig 3) at the right of program 18. The machine now sews slowly just before the end of the second seam. When both seams are the same length, press key 19 again. The bartack is now sewn and tied off (Fig. 2). This sewing sequence can also be applied for fully automatic buttonholes when the two buttonhole seams are not the same length anymore If you wish to sew the next buttonhole fully auto matically, press key 19 again (Same sewing se quence as described on page 78) The flashing dash will then have disappeared. Note: If you interrupt sewing at the reduced sewing speed by releasing the foot control, the machine will return to the normal speed when you start sewing again. After sewing, cut the buttonholes open (see page 94).
