Sewing How to sew a buttonhole Choose Buttonholes from the main menu and select the buttonhole of your choice. For this example we have chosen buttonhole no. 47. The most important settings are visible on the screen. There are three different ways of sewing a buttonhole: automatically, programmed or manually. Automatic buttonhole Enter the buttonhole length directly on the screen by touching the + and - icon on the Stitch elongation icon (A). Enter the length of the slit of your buttonhole. Start to sew your buttonhole by pressing the foot control. The buttonhole will be sewn automatically. A Programmed buttonhole You can program a buttonhole while sewing. 1. Activate the buttonhole program by touching the prog icon (B). 2. Sew until you reach the buttonhole size you want and press the reverse button. The machine sews in reverse and the second bartack and cuts the threads. 3. The prog icon changes into this (C) icon. You can repeat the programmed buttonhole as many times as you want. 4. If you want to clear the size of the buttonhole, touch the prog icon again. Manual buttonhole If you touch the Manual icon (D) you will determine where the last bartack is sewn. 1. Set the length of the buttonhole by touching the Stitch elongation icon. The machine will sew the first column, the first bartack and the second column. 2. After having sewn half of the second column, the machine slows down. When it is time to do the second bartack, touch the reverse button and the machine start making the bartack. Note: The machine will not store the manual buttonhole. How to balance a buttonhole Start by sewing a sample of the buttonhole. If you find that one of the columns are longer than the other you can change the balance of the buttonhole. Touch the balance icon (E) and a popup appears. Touch the + and - buttons (F) to change the buttonhole. You should change the buttonhole so that it looks like your sewed out sample. The machine will then correct the buttonhole automatically. Note: If you would like to sew a buttonhole longer than the 5A foot (50mm) you can sew without the sensormatic guide but with the 1A foot. To get a perfect result without the sensormatic guide it might be necessary to balance the buttonhole. 3:16 C B D E F
