Start to sew your buttonhole by pressing the foot control. The buttonhole will be sewn automatically. A C Programmed buttonhole You can program a buttonhole while sewing. Activate the buttonhole program by touching the prog icon (B). B D Sewing 2. Sew until you reach the buttonhole size you want and press the reverse button. The machine sews in reverse and the second bartack and cuts the threads. The prog icon changes into this (C) icon. You can repeat the programmed buttonhole as many times as you want. If you want to clear the size of the buttonhole, touch the prog icon again. E Manual buttonhole If you touch the Manual icon (D) you will determine where the last bartack is sewn. Set the length of the buttonhole by touching the Stitch elongation icon. The machine will sew the first column, the first bartack and the second column. After having sewn half of the second column, the machine slows down. When it is time to do the second bartack, touch the reverse button and the machine start making the bartack.

If you find that one of the columns are longer than the other you can change the balance of the buttonhole. Touch the balance icon (E) and a popup appears. Touch the + and - buttons (F) to change the buttonhole. You should change the buttonhole so that it looks like your sewed out sample. The machine will then correct the buttonhole automatically.
