 Buttonhole knife
T'he buttonhole knife (40 15 399), which you will
find in the accessory box, is equipped with a safety
cap which, when taken off, can be pushed onto the
back of the knife and thus provides a good handle.

When you have finished sewing all of the button-

hls, it is time to cut them. Do this by piercing
Ih fabric at right angles until Lhe curved edge
rahes dow•n to the buttonhole.

Then incline the knife more or less parallel to the

cloth and mlove it carefully forward so as not to cut
trou gh the end of the buttonhIiole. T7he small red
bead serves as a guide.

ttelpful hint:
Yucan also cut thec buttonhole to the middle and
