UTILITY STITCHES
18
Buttonhole stitch
Tips:
Slightly reduce the upper tension for best results.
Use stabilizer for fine or stretchy materials.
We recommend placing a pin across the end of the
buttonhole as a precaution against cutting the stitches
with the seam ripper.
It is advisable to use gimp cord for stretch or knit
fabrics. The zigzag should sew over the gimp.
The lines on the buttonhole foot can be used guides
when sewing multiple buttonholes.
1. Lift the presser foot, pull the gimp cord and come
round the protruding point on back of the
buttonhole foot.
2. Pull the gimp cord under the foot to the front.
3. Fix the gimp cord to the protruding point on front
of foot.
4. Turn the needle down to the starting position on
fabric, put down the presser foot.
5. Sew the buttonhole according to page 17.
6. Pull the gimp cord straightly.
7. Cut the gimp cord.
