Test sewing

sew the buttonhole in the same direction on the fabric (with or
against the grain)

necessary
Corrections
To adjust the bead width:
•
alter the stitch width
•
altered stitch widths can be deleted by pressing the «clr/del»-
button
Altering the stitch length:
•
any alterations to the stitch length affect both beads (denser or
less dense)

Balance for automatic/manual buttonholes
•
any balance alterations to the 6-step manual and auto length
buttonholes affects both beads identically because they are sewn
in the same direction
If a buttonhole is to be sewn at
right angles to a seam, we
recommend the use of the but-
tonhole leveler. Insert the plate
from behind between the
fabric and the foot up to and
over the thicker area.
TIP
Note:
When all buttonholes have
been sewn, return balance to
the normal setting!
