Note

If buttonhole sewing was interrupted, sew 
trial stitching one or two times on a scrap 
piece of fabric before continuing to sew the 
project. Stitching that is continued after 
being interrupted may be sewn incorrectly.

If thick seams are being sewn and the fabric 
does not feed, sew with the coarser (longer) 
stitch.

cut towards the pin and open the 
buttonhole.
