Using the seam ripper

sewn together.
-Gently pull the sewn fabric seam apart, so the stitches are visible and
slightly loosened, then glide the Seam ripper hook in between to cut the
threads.

instructions on how to remove the Press-
er foot, refer to the section “Removing or

Buttonhole presser foot (36) to the
Presser foot holder (3).
3. Mark the desired length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
4. Place the fabric under the Presser foot (4) and set the Presser foot lifter
(33) down to secure the fabric in place, aligning the distance set on the
presser foot to the length of the marked fabric.
