6. MAKING BUTTONHOLES


Determine Length

Measure diameter and thickness

of button and add 03cm (1/8”)

for bar tacks.Mark buttonhole size on material.

Determine Width

Determine width according to

diameter of button, its thickness,and kind of material.

Attach buttonhole foot.Completely push back sliding parta of buttonhole foot.Place material under foot so that

marking of buttonhole passesthrough center of foot and arrowb of foot indicates beginning line

of marking.

Bar tacking: Set pattern selection

dial to 1 (C) and sew 5-6

stitches.

Left side: Change pattern to 2

(21]). Sew left side from front to

back until it reaches end line.

Remember the point where arrow

shows so that it is not necessary

to mark end lines for all

buttonholes.

Right side: Change pattern to 4

([Ia) and sew right side until it

catches first bar tack.

Quick finish: To prevent

unstitching, set zigzag width at

0 and proceed for a few stitches.

Bar tacking: Change pattern to 3— 3+

(B ) and sew 5-6 stitches.

Cutting Buttonholes

Stick a needle through bar tacks

to prevent over-cutting.

Cut buttonhole along centre with

buttonhole cutter.

Corded Buttonholes

For stretch fabrics such as knits,

a corded buttonhole is effective

to keep finished buttonhole

in shape.Hook filler cord on top spur and

lead ends of cord under foot, pull

taut, and hook them to bottom

notches as shown.

Proceed with stitching as for

regular buttonholes.

When buttonhole is completed,

pull filler cord ends so that loop

on the other end disappears into

buttonhole stitching.

Thread ends of cord to reverse

side and tie, or cut both ends of

cord.

used as an applique and cut it out.

Place cut-out on base material

and baste it.

Sew around outline with zigzag

stitch adjusting stitch length and

width according to shape andsize of cut-out and type of basematerial.

To change direction at corners,or to sew very small circles, stop

machine, positioning needle just

away from edge of cut-out, lift

presser foot and turn material.

Lower presser foot and continue

sewing.
