NOTES:
The size of buttonhole is automatically determined by
placing the button in the automatic buttonhole foot.
The button holder of the foot takes a button size up to 1"

Make a test buttonhole on a sample duplicating the
fabric, interfacing and seams of the actual garment to
check the settings.
Use interfacing on stretch fabrics.
