It turns out it's really simple. Just hit the backstitch or "Quick reverse" button when you get to your desired length. The buttonhole will auto complete for you. :) It took me a really long time to figure out how to change the size of the buttonhole. It turns out it’s really simple.

I have tried clearing the memory, turning off the machine, and returning to straight stitch, but I keep getting the same length, which was a mistake in the first place. Very frustrating. Can you help? Thank you. Susan Robyn: I know this machine makes great buttonholes, but like Renee D, I cannot get it to change length of buttonholes.

Thanks. Can you tell me if the numbers for stitch length, 0 to 5 on my Bernina 440 QE, mean millimeters, for instance is 1.4 14 mm. Thanks.

I have not been able to figure out how to make a space between words. Where is the 'space' button? Also, what do you do to make the machine stop when you finish the word. all I have been able to figure out is how to stitch a word but it continues to repeat it over and over. What do you push to make it stop after you stitch a word or even a few flowers if that is all you want. Thanks. All of you directions are the best I have ever seen!

The buttonhole memory feature is fantastic, and I think the quality of the buttonhole stitching is quite good also (though I'm not a huge user of buttonholes, so I may not be the best authority on that..) The stitches seem even and dense enough and probably could be denser with different thread. Very easy to make, and quick, too! @ pep:

I"m not sure where I'll find it useful, since it all fits within 5 mm width. Any suggestions? I've never had a machine with this stitch and I'm not sure what to do with it exactly. BSR allows me to do free motion with no problem in order to mimic this pattern on a larger scale. Any ideas? @Irene Alley:

Saw one on a TV sewing show. That machine was not a Bernina, though. Meant to ask you if your machine has a stipple stitch. Saw one on a TV sewing show. That machine was not a Bernina, though.
