SEWING BUTTONHOLES AND BUTTONS
Making a Buttonhole
Memo
We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on an actual garment.
When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
1
Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position and
length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
2
Attach the buttonhole foot and push the frame
back until it stops with the plastic insert at the
front of the frame.
3
You need to sew the front bar tack first. Line
the bar tack mark under the center of the
presser foot and match it up to the two lines
on the presser foot.
1 Front of chalk mark
2 Red lines
Making a Buttonhole
Securing the Stitching and Cutting the
Buttonhole
1
To secure the stitching, turn the material 90
degrees counterclockwise and sew straight
stitches to the end of the front bar tack of the
buttonhole.
2
Remove the material from the machine. We
recommend that you put pins across both
ends of the buttonhole to prevent the stitches
from being cut.

If the presser foot is not installed with the
correct orientation, the needle may strike
the presser foot, which may bend or
break the needle and cause injury. (See
page 9 for the correct presser foot
orientation.)
