• When sewing a buttonhole, the stitches on each side of the buttonhole should be the same
density.
The range of 9 to 12 stitches in the right side row against 10 stitches in the left side row is
considered acceptable.
<To adjust>
Sew a test buttonhole and count the stitches on each side.
Remove the cap to access the adjusting screw.
If the left row is denser (A), turn the adjusting screw in the direction (C).
If the left row is coarser (B), turn the adjusting screw in the direction (D).
Attach the cap.
