Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Slide the outside frame of the buttonhole
foot backward as far as possible as shown in
the illustration, making sure that there is no
gap behind the part of the foot marked “A”. If
the buttonhole foot is not slid back as far as
possible, the bar tack will not be sewn to the
correct size.
