• Position buttonhole cam correctly in place as described
above.
• Attach Buttonhole Foot.
• First, decide how long the opening needs to be. This
will depend on the diameter and thickness of the
button. Then, add approximately Vb inch (about Vie
inch for each bar-tack) and mark the fabric as shown
in Fig. 2.
• Decide stitch width and stitch density according to
thickness of fabric and button. (See Fig. 3)
Always make a test buttonhole on a sample of your fabric. Be sure to duplicate the thickness of the
garment and include interfacing if appropriate.
