Use this procedure when you want to achieve a tailored,
more attractive raised buttonhole.
Use at least 40 cm (15”) of havy thread as filler cord.
Try a practice buttonhole first.

Set the automatic buttonhole foot R on the foot
holder.
With the buttonhole foot raised, hook the filler cord
on the 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 foot
R to hold them tight.
