Double layer buttonhole
To make a sturdy buttonhole, sew another layer of 
buttonhole stitches over the previous stitches.
After the buttonhole is finished, simply start the machine 
again.
Do not raise the foot or buttonhole lever.
NOTE:
This function is disabled if Thread Cut after Auto-
Lock option is turned on in the ordinary sewing setting 
mode (refer to page 99).

  The buttonhole is sewn automatically in the sequence 
shown. When the buttonhole is finished, the machine 
will stop automatically with the needle in the up 
position.
    Press the thread cutter button and remove the fabric.
Patterns B3 to B13 are sensor buttonholes and the 
sewing procedure is the same as for buttonhole B1.
However, the sewing sequence varies depending on the 
type of the buttonhole.

NOTE:
A warning message will appear and the machine will 
stop automatically if you start the machine without 
pulling down the buttonhole lever. Press the X key, 
pull down the buttonhole lever and start again.
Make sure there is no gap between the slider and 
front stopper, otherwise the buttonhole will be out of 
position or the left and right lengths will be different.

Use the stabilizer plate when sewing thick fabrics or 
sewing across hems (refer to page 47).

  Place a pin just below the bartack at each end to 
prevent accidentally cutting the threads. Cut the 
opening with the seam ripper. Use an eyelet puncher 
to open a keyhole buttonhole.

  After you finish buttonhole sewing, push the 
buttonhole lever up as far as it will go.
