a b Sew 3-6 stitches. Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric c on the left side of the stitch (position C). (Turn the handwheel counterclockwise if necessary.) C Step D: Left Row Lift the presser foot. a b Turn the fabric 180 degrees using the needle as an axis and set the stitch width to 0. This will move the fabric slightly. Lower the presser foot. Turn the handwheel toward you c (counterclockwise) to sew one stitch. This moves the needle from the left to the right. d Set the stitch width to 2. Sew until the needle reaches the other bar tack. e Stop the machine with the needle in the fabric on the right of the stitches (position D). D ¦ Securing the stitching and cutting the buttonhole To secure the stitching, turn the fabric 90 a degrees counterclockwise, set the stitch width to 0, the stitch length to 1 and sew 5-6 Straight Stitches. b Raise the presser foot lever, remove the fabric, and cut the thread. 30 UTILITY STITCHES Insert a pin at the end of the buttonhole stitching to prevent the stitching from being cut, and then use a seam ripper to cut towards the pin and open the buttonhole. 12 aSeam ripper bPin CAUTION . When opening the buttonhole with the seam ripper, do not place your hands in the cutting path, otherwise injuries may result if the seam ripper slips. Do not use the seam ripper in any other way than how it is intended. ¦ Optional procedure for buttonholes Step A: Bar Tack Set the needle position at L, stitch width at 5 a and stitch length at 0. b Lower the presser foot and sew 3 to 4 stitches. Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric c and at the left side of the stitches. (position A) A Step B: Left Row Set the stitch width at 2 and stitch length at F. a b Sew the desired length in reverse. Stop the machine when the needle is in the c fabric at the left side of the stitches. (position B) B Step C: Final Bar Tack Set the stitch width at 5 and stitch length at 0. a b Sew 3 to 4 stitches. Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric c and at the right side of the stitches. (position C) C Step D: Right Row Set the needle position at R, stitch width at 2 a and stitch length at F. b Sew until the needle reaches the other bar tack. Stop the machine when the needle is in the fabric c and at the right side of the stitches. (position D) D Step E: Securing Buttonhole Stitch To secure stitching, set the stitch width to 0. a Turn the fabric 90 degrees counterclockwise and sew 5 - 6 straight stitches. b Remove the fabric from the machine. Button sewing Buttons can be sewn on with the sewing machine. Buttons with 2 or with 4 holes can be attached. Stitch width Set according to the distance between the holes. Stitch length 0 Needle position L or R Presser foot Zigzag Needle Single Other Darning plate Measure the distance between the holes in the a button to be attached. b Place the darning plate on the needle plate as shown below. Place a button between the presser foot and c the fabric. d You will need to adjust the stitch width to match the distance between the holes in the button. Turning the width knob will narrow or widen the “swing” of the stitch to accommodate most buttons. Turn the handwheel toward you e (counterclockwise) to check that the needle correctly goes into the two holes of the button. CAUTION . When sewing, be sure that the needle does not touch the button, otherwise the needle may bend or break. f Start sewing. • After sewing for about 10 seconds at a low speed, press and hold down the reverse sewing lever to sew a few reinforcement stitches. Pull the fabric to the left side of the machine, g and then cut the upper and lower threads, leaving a length of 15 cm (6 inches). h Pull the upper thread at the end of the stitching to the wrong side of the fabric, and then tie it with the bobbin thread. Use scissors to cut the upper thread and the bobbin thread at the beginning of the stitching. ¦ Button fitting with thread shank The thread shank of a button is often needed when sewing on heavier fabric. Place a button between the presser foot and a the fabric, adjust the stitch width according to the distance between the holes in the button and sew on the button as previously explained. b After sewing about 10 stitches, remove the fabric from the machine leaving a longer upper thread (about 15 cm (6")) in order to form a thread shank. Pull the upper thread through one of the holes c on the button until it is between the button and the fabric and tightly wrap the thread around the stitches. d With a normal sewing needle, pull the threads to the back of the fabric and tie the ends together to secure the button. 32 UTILITY STITCHES ZIPPER INSERTION ZIPPER INSERTION You can use the zipper foot “I” to sew different types of zippers, and can easily position it to the right or left side of the needle.
