The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing a
button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R.
The button holder of the foot takes a button size of 1 cm
(3/8˝) to 2.5 cm (1˝) in diameter.
When selecting the buttonholes, the LCD screen advise
you to lower the buttonhole lever.
NOTE:
It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size
to match certain heavy or specific fabrics and threads.
Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric
to check your settings.
The preset width of the buttonhole is suited for
ordinary buttons.
Apply an interfacing to stretch or fine fabrics.
