Sewing A Buttonhole - Singer 1 Manuel D'instruction

SEWING A BUTTONHOLE

USING BUTTONHOLE FOOT
Your machine offers you two different widths of bartack
buttonholes sewn by a system that measures the size of the
button and calculates the size buttonhole required. All of this
is done in one easy step.
PROCEDURE
* Use an interfacing in the area of the garment where
buttonholes are placed. Stabilizer or regular interfacing can
be used.
* Make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of the actual fabric
from your project. Then try the buttonhole with your button.
1. Select one of buttonhole patterns.
2. Replace the presser foot with the buttonhole foot. (Refer to
"Changing presser foot" on page 24 - 25.)
3. Insert the button into the buttonhole foot. (Refer to "Using
buttonhole foot" above.)
4. Lower the buttonhole lever (C) so that it drops down
vertically between the stoppers (A) and (B).
5. Carefully mark the position of buttonhole on your garment.
6. Place the fabric under the foot. Pull out the bobbin thread
underneath the fabric to a length of about 4 inches to the
rear.
7. Align the buttonhole mark on the fabric with the mark on
the buttonhole foot, and then lower the buttonhole foot.
8. While holding the top thread, start the machine.
