When using the seam ripper to open the buttonhole,

ripper. The ripper may slip and cause injury.

For Keyhole Buttonholes

Use the eyelet punch to make a hole in the rounded end of the
buttonhole. Then insert a pin along the inside of one of the bar
tacks, insert a seam ripper into the hole made with the eyelet
punch, and cut towards the pin.

5. Gently hold the end of the upper thread, and then start sew-

ing. Feed the fabric carefully by hand while the buttonhole is
sewn. Once sewing is completed, the machine automatically
sews reinforcement stitches, and then stops.

Note
If the fabric does not feed (for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
