Remove the fabric from the machine and
cut the sewing threads.
Pull the left end of the filler cord to tighten
it. Thread the end through a darning needle,
draw to the bottom side of the fabric and
cut.

Lower the needle into the garment where
the buttonhole will start and lower the foot.
Depress the foot control gently and sew the
buttonhole.
Each side of the buttonhole and the
bartacks will be sewn over the cord.
*
The sewing steps are the same as the
automatic buttonhole sewing.

With the buttonhole foot raised, hook the
filler cord on the cord spur at the back of
the buttonhole foot.
Bring the ends toward you under the
buttonhole foot until they clear the front
end.
Hook the filler cord into the forks on the
front of the buttonhole foot to hold them
tight.
