Check that the needle drops at the desired 
position and lower the presser foot, making 
sure the upper thread passes underneath 
the buttonhole foot.

d

Lower the buttonhole lever so that it is 
positioned behind the metal bracket on the 
buttonhole foot.

Gently hold the end of the upper thread, 
and then press the “Start/Stop” button to 
start the machine. 

o

Once sewing is completed, the machine 
automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then 
stops.

Note

• Pass the thread underneath the presser 

foot.

• Set the presser foot so that there is no gap 

behind the section marked with an “A” (the 
shaded area in the illustration below). If 
there is a gap, the size of the darning will not 
be correct. 

Memo

• If automatic thread cutting is turned on 

before you start sewing, both threads are 
automatically cut after the reinforcement 
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed 
(for example, because it is too thick), 
increase the stitch length setting.
