Fold the fabric in half to 3” x 6”; press. Insert the

stabilizer between the layers. Draw a line 1½” from

the fold along the 6” length. Draw a second line 1”

from the first line. Mark two short lines, between the

fold and the drawn line, spaced about 1½”-2” apart.

Standard Buttonhole—BERNINA

Select the Standard buttonhole; select the “man” function from the function

toolbar, if applicable. Position the foot over the first short line, aligning the

fold of the fabric with the ⅝” marking on the stitch plate, behind the foot.

Engage Step #1. Sew the first side of the buttonhole. Stop at the drawn line;

select step #2. Continue with remaining steps.

Standard Buttonhole—bernette 46 and 12

Select the buttonhole and adjust the stitch settings: SW = 5 and

SL = buttonhole. Position the foot over the first short line, aligning the

needle with the 1½” line. Select the steps in order and sew them as

shown in the diagrams. When the stitching is complete, remove the

fabric from under the foot. Bring thread tails to the back and tie off.

Corded Buttonhole

Fold the cord in half and loop the middle around the center “toe” of the

foot (For the bernette – loop the cord at the back of the foot; lock it in the

front grooves and tie the ends in front.) Stitch the buttonhole on the second

Line as before, then carefully remove the fabric from under the foot. Pull

the cord ends until the loop is pulled up under the buttonhole; trim

the ends of cord. If working on a knit fabric, knot the cord

ends together before trimming.

Tension Tips

A slightly tighter bobbin tension gives a beautiful full look

to your buttonholes. The best way to achieve this:

• CB Hook Machines: Thread the bobbin thread

through the hole in the finger of the bobbin case.

• Rotary Hook Machines: Use the embroidery

bobbin case and thread the "pigtail."

• 8 Series Machines: Thread for embroidery.

Do you know how to:

▪ Measure a button for buttonhole size?

▪ Select a buttonhole?

▪ Stitch a buttonhole?
