Lower the needle into the garment where the button-
hole will start and lower the presser foot.
Press the foot control and slowly sew the buttonhole.
Each side of the buttonhole and the bartacks will be
sewn over the cord. Remove the fabric from the ma-
chine and cut only the sewing threads.
Pull the left end of the cord to tighten it. Thread the
end through a darning needle; draw to the wrong
side of the fabric and cut.
