NOTE:
B3-B13 are sensor buttonholes and the sewing procedure is the same as for B1. B1 Sensor (Square) Buttonhole
The size of a buttonhole is automatically set by placing a button in the rear of automatic buttonhole foot R.
The button holder of the foot takes a button size of 1 cm (3/8˝) to 2.5 cm (1˝) in diameter.
When selecting the buttonholes, the visual touch screen advises you to lower the buttonhole lever.
NOTE:

• It is sometimes necessary to change buttonhole size to match certain heavy or specific fabrics and threads.
• Make a test buttonhole on an extra piece of the fabric to check your settings.
• The preset width of the buttonhole is suited for ordinary buttons.
• Apply an interfacing to stretch or fine fabrics.

Sewing

1. Pull the button holder to the back, and place the button in it. Push it together tightly on the button.

NOTE:
Presser foot pressure cannot be adjusted to the stitch patterns of a pattern combination individually.
If you attempt to do so, only the last pattern’s presser foot pressure settings are applied to all the programmed patterns.

Bridge Stitches
Bridge stitches are used for inserting straight stitches after a stitch pattern.
The number beside the stitch image on the straight stitch key indicates the stitch count of a programmable unit.
If you want more space between French knots (D6), for example, insert pattern BR5 after pattern D6.
Two counts of straight stitches are added to pattern D6.

NOTE:
Patterns BR5, BR6 and BR8 will inherit the stitch length and needle drop position of the previous pattern in the pattern combination.

Editing a Pattern Combination
The programmed pattern (pattern combination) can be edited in the programming mode.
You can insert, delete or flip the stitch pattern by selecting the stitch with the cursor. You can also adjust the stitch width and stitch length.

Checking Pattern Combination Length
You can check the total length of the pattern combination by pressing on the pattern combination length key.

1. Pattern combination length key
   The readout of the total length is a theoretical value and the actual length may vary depending on sewing conditions.
   For example, select pattern SE6 three times, and sew a pattern combination.
   If the actual length differs considerably from the readout, measure the actual length and enter the nearest value by pressing the “+” or “–” key.
   In this case, the theoretical value is 48 mm. However, if the actual length is 40 mm, enter 40 mm by pressing “–” key. Press the OK to register it.

2. Actual length
   The readout is adjusted automatically when calculating the length of other pattern combinations.
   The message “Displays the length of the corrected pattern.” appears to indicate that the displayed value is adjusted already.
   For example select patterns LS4, LS6 and SE6.
   The theoretical value is 53 mm. However, the read out is calculated according to the measured actual length. In this case, the adjusted value is 44 mm.
   Press the default key to clear the entered length.
