NEVER run machine without material under presser foot. FLce material and threads in position under the presser ioct and lower the nresser foot. You re no-,, ready to begin sewing. Ey having the needle a: its hiahest porn:, it is not necessary o :ouch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the :aachtne :s regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.

BUTTONHOLES
Buttonholes of various lengths can be made by just turning the buttonhole control knob. To establish the correct length buttonhole required add 1/8 inch to the cutting space for bar tacks. To obtain the length of the cutting space, the opening through which the button passes is measured by adding the width A and thickness B of the button (Fig. 28). First mark the beginning and end of the buttonhole on the fabric with a basting line or tailors chalk. Make one or two buttonholes on scrap fabric (following directions below) to be sure the machines adjustments are correct. (1) Set zigzag stitch width control at 0. (2) Replace presser foot with special purpose buttonhole foot. It provides maximum visibility and allows closely spaced stitches to feed evenly (Fig. 27). Set stitch length knob 11 (Fig. 1) as near 0 as (3) possible without stopping the feeding action. 4) Set buttonhole control knob (Fig. 30) at 0 and then to the first buttonhole setting, number 1. This will set the width of the buttonhole sides. (5) Lower needle carefully into the mark on the fabric indicating the start of the buttonhole. Lower presser foot and sew full length of left hand side of the buttonhole (Fig. 29, Step 1).
