Sewing in zippers Prog. 00 There are different ways to sew in zippers. For skirts we recommend inserting the zipper con cealed on both sides, and for ladies’ or men’s slacks concealed on one side. For all types of zippers it is important to sew right up close to the teeth of the zipper.

You only have to program your buttonhole in the desired length once. Any further buttonholes will be sewn in the stored length automatically. Use buttonhole foot No. 5 for buttonhole sewing. Before starting any buttonhole, always push the runner to the front up to the second red mark.
Inserting the buttonhole guide: 1. Remove the detachable work support. 2. Push the metal part of the buttonhole guide in the slot below the needle plate from the rear (between the two arrows marked red). Doing this, the white synthetic part is placed on top of the needle plate.
You can choose from the following buttonholes: 1. Standard buttonhole No. 40 II (for blouses, shirts, dresses, etc.) II a) fully automatic 1I b) semi-automatic - 2. Stretch buttonhole No. 41 for highly stretchable materials and heavy knit It fabrics. U a) fully automatic b) semi-automatic 3.

By pressing key “6” for “man” you can self-define the second bartack. The stitch density cannot be changed for this buttonhole style. Therefore, you should sew this buttonhole with a thicker thread or a gimp thread, if required (see section “Sewing buttonholes with gimp thread”).
• Press the “ok.” key. On the screen the button hole appears with length and width settings and balance. • For buttonholes on coats the stitch width can be increased up to 8.5 mm. • The stitch density cannot be changed for this buttonhole style.
