'Whipstitch
buttonholes
call for the
some
weight
of
needle
and
bobbin
thread.
For
best
results, o
soft
thread
oF an
even
and
moderate
twist
should
be
used
in
the
needle.
We
should like to
stress
at
ttvis
point
that
only the very
best
threads
in
the
weights
recommended
above
should
be
used
for sewing buttonholes.
Besides the quality of the
thread
it is its condition
at
the time of use whrch
should be given due consideration
because
even
threads
of superior quality
may
turn brittle
end
loose
their tensile
strength
when
stored
in
dry
rooms
for
too
long. Inferior
quality
threads
are
completely
unsuitable for this
type
of
work.
The
PFAFF 3114 is corefully stitched
off
with
threads
of the
grades
and
weights most suitoble for the purpose the machine is intended for.
No
guarantee
will be
assumed
for the
proper
working of the machine
end
the
neat
appearance
as well as the durability of the buttonhole if
thread
of
o
poor
quality
is
used.
If
there
is
any
doubt
about
the
cause
of
thread
breaking
and
you
want
to find
out
whether
the
thread
or
the
machine
is
at
fault,
press
the
right
treadle
halfway
down
and
sew
the
buttonhole
at
half the
normal
speed.
