BUTTONHOLE SEWING/ BUTTON SEWING
Buttonholes can be sewn and buttons can be sewn on.
Buttonhole sewing
Making a buttonhole
Memo
It is recommended to practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
attempting it on your project.
Using tailor’s chalk to mark the position and
length of the buttonhole on the fabric is also
recommended.
Step A: Bar Tack
a
Set the stitch length between 0 and 1 (F),
stitch width to 5 and the needle position to R.
b
Lower the presser foot over the top right corner
of the buttonhole mark and sew 3-6 stitches.
c
Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric
on the right side of the stitch (position A). (Turn
the handwheel counterclockwise if necessary.)
Step B: Right Row
a
Set the stitch width to 2.
b
Sew the predetermined length of the
buttonhole to the other end.
c
Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric
on the right side of the stitch (position B). (Turn
the handwheel counterclockwise if necessary.)
Step C: Final Bar Tack
a
Set the stitch width to 5.
b
Sew 3-6 stitches.
c
Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric
on the left side of the stitch (position C). (Turn
the handwheel counterclockwise if necessary.)
Step D: Left Row
a
Lift the presser foot.
b
Turn the fabric 180 degrees using the needle as
an axis and set the stitch width to 0. This will
move the fabric slightly. Lower the presser foot.
c
Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to sew one stitch.
This moves the needle from the left to the right.
d
Set the stitch width to 2.
e
Sew until the needle reaches the other bar tack.
Stop the machine with the needle in the fabric
on the right of the stitches (position D).
Securing the stitching and cutting the buttonhole
a
To secure the stitching, turn the fabric 90
degrees counterclockwise, set the stitch width
to 0, the stitch length to 1 and sew 5-6
Straight Stitches.
b
Raise the presser foot lever, remove the
fabric, and cut the thread.
