1 Pin
a
Use the seam ripper to cut towards the pin
and open the buttonhole.
1 Seam ripper
For keyhole buttonholes, use the eyelet punch
to make a hole in the rounded end of the
buttonhole, and then use the seam ripper to cut
open the buttonhole.
1 Eyelet punch
When using the eyelet punch, place thick
paper or some other protective sheet under
the fabric before punching the hole in the
fabric.
Changing the density of the stitching
Adjust the stitch length.
For details, refer to “Adjusting the stitch
length” (page 56).
If the fabric does not feed (for example, if it is
too thick), increase the density of the
stitching.
Changing the stitch width
Adjust the stitch width.
For details, refer to “Adjusting the stitch
width” (page 55).
Memo
Before sewing buttonholes, check the stitch
length and width by sewing a trial
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric.
Sewing buttonholes on stretch fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabrics, use a
gimp thread.
1
Hook the gimp thread onto the part of
buttonhole foot “A” shown in the illustration
so that it fits into the grooves, and then
loosely tie it.
When opening the buttonhole with the
seam ripper, do not place your hands in
the cutting direction, otherwise injuries
may result if the seam ripper slips.
