How do I rest the timing on Myexcel 18W/MW3018 limited edition sewing machine please

Here are the steps to sew a buttonhole on the Janome New Home My Excel 18W/MW3018 sewing machine:

1. Attach the buttonhole foot to the machine.
2. Place the button in the back of the buttonhole foot and adjust the foot so that the button fits snugly.
3. Select the buttonhole stitch on the machine. It may be a buttonhole symbol or a number corresponding to the buttonhole stitch.
4. Set the stitch length to the desired length for the buttonhole. The machine may have preset lengths or you can adjust it manually.
5. Place the fabric under the foot and lower the foot.
6. Sew the first side of the buttonhole. Stop the machine when it reaches the end of the buttonhole.
7. Sew the second side of the buttonhole, stopping at the end.
8. Use a seam ripper or scissors to open the buttonhole carefully.
9. Remove the fabric from the machine and trim any loose threads.

Make sure to practice on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing the buttonhole on your project.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Computers to Janome.

There seems to be different versions, perhaps country versions USA and Australia. Some have 'New Home', some don't. There is a manual in the link.

Hi there,

Go to this link: http://content.janome.com/documents/File/ManualFile/Inst%20book%204618LE.pdf

It is for the 4618LE, very similar to your machine.

Enjoy!

You will, from there, need to do a review of the product to retrieve the rest of the download, but I've already checked this sight out and had some other technical friends do so as well. It doesn't save any private information and there are no viruses or anything in your download, so it's all very safe. You'll have a free copy of your user's manual in no time!

Happy sewing!

the teeth (feed dogs) must be up enough so they can move the fabric with the help of the presser foot (or all purpose foot)

When you lower the feed dogs on this machine and then flip the lever back for the feed to come up again, the machine must turn a couple of turns to get the fedd up.
