Sewing a Buttonhole Automatically

  1. Attach the Buttonhole Foot with Slide (RJ).
  2. Pull out the button holder plate and insert the button.
  3. Pass the thread through the hole in the presser foot and then place it under the foot.
  5. Tap Buttonholes.
  6. Select the buttonhole stitch.
  8. Adjust the stitch width and stitch length to the desired width and density.
  9. Position the fabric under the presser foot so that marking of the centerline is aligned with the starting point (1).
  10. Make sure that there is no gap between the presser foot tip and the plastic part.
  12. Press the button Start/Stop.
  13. While the buttonhole lever is raised, the display shows an error message to lower the buttonhole lever.
  14. Pull the buttonhole lever down as far as possible until it clicks into place.
  16. Hold the upper thread vertically to the buttonhole foot with slide and start sewing.
  17. After the buttonhole has been sewn, the machine automatically sews a securing stitch before stopping.
  19. The buttonholes are sewn backwards from the front of the presser foot as illustrated.
  21. Raise the presser foot and cut the thread.
  22. After sewing the buttonhole, raise the buttonhole lever to the stop.
  24. Cut the buttonhole open and make sure that the beads are not cut on either side. Use a pin as a stop at the bartack to avoid cutting too far.
