On a 4 step buttonhole, one bartacks the beginning, then goes down one side, bartack, turn and goes down the other side using a small zig-zag stitch length. It takes a lot of practice. Use a stabilizer between your fabrics and keep on practicing. Check your manual for the correct machine settings as they are different on each machine. If your dealer offers "hands-on" lessons, make an appointment and take your machine and let them teach you the specifics. Happy Stitching! Marty
