17 MAKING BUTTONHOLES First, mark the beginning and end of the buttonhole on fabric with a basting line or tailor’s chalk. Make one on scrap fabric (following directions below) to be sure machine adjustments are correct. 1. Replace presser foot with buttonhole foot which is grooved deeply underneath to prevent piling up of thread. (See Fig. 25). 2. Lock the stitch width at 2 and set the stitch length near 0. 3. Lower needle carefully into the mark on fabric indicating the beginning of buttonhole. Stitch to the mark for the end of the Fig. 25 buttonhole, step 1, Fig. 26, stopping machine with needle in fabric at right side of stitching. 4. Lift the presser foot and using the needle as a pivot, turn the fabric end for end. 5. Lower presser foot and turn hand wheel just c s s SS enough to raise needle out of fabric. T T M 1 T E 6. Drop feed all the way down and move zigzag lever E P:5 to 4. While holding the lever at 4 width, take five 1 2 3t E TH or six stitches to form bar tack, step 2, Fig. 26. D 7. Raise needle out of fabric and return feed to “HIGH” position and return stitch width lever to 2. Fig. 26 8. Stitch second side of buttonhole, step 3. 9. Make bar tack by repeating 5 and 6 above (step 4). 10. Return stitch width to 0 and, take two or three stitches to fasten bar threads and prevent ravelling. Cut the buttonhole opening with a seam ripper, being careful not to cut the stitching.

LI

18 If you plan to make buttonholes on sheer or soft material, place tarlatan or paper, which can be turn away after stitching, under the fabric. And it is always wise to make several buttonholes on scraps of fabric before working on the garment. For narrower buttonholes, set the stitch width at 1½ and move stitch width lever to 3 for bar tack.

C

SEWING ON BUTTONS 1. 2. 3.

4. 5.

Remove hinged presser foot and attach button sewing foot (See Fig. 27-A, B and C). Turn drop feed knob to “DOWN” Move zigzag width lever to “0” position or to the extreme left. Place the button so that its left hole comes directly under the needle, then gently lower the presser foot. Move the zigzag width lever to the right until the needle comes exactly over the right hole of the button. Turn the balance wheel slowly by hand to be sure the needle clears both holes of the button, Correct width if necessary. When needle goes into the center of each hole, run the machine at medium speed, making five or six stitches, stopping with the needle in the left hole. To lock the zigzag stitch and prevent ravelling, set the stitch width at 0, and take a few stitches in the same hole. If you wish you may place a rounded toothpick over the button, between the two holes, and sew button to fabric in Fig. 27-C regular way.
