Utility stitches and practical sewing
Carfully cut open your buttonhole with scissors or a
seam ripper.
Tip: For À ne buttonholes, you can reduce the
buttonhole width with the stitch width dial
(26) down to approx. 3 mm. Use the center
needle position
.
Standard buttonhole with gimp
thread
To sew especially durable buttonholes,
on heavy fabrics, knits or sportswear, we
recommend using a gimp thread.
On knits the gimp thread is particularly
important to prevent the buttonhole from
stretching.
• Lay the gimp thread over the rear
protrusion A and pass the thread ends
underneath the presser foot towards
the front.
• Clamp the threads to the left and right
of protrusion B.
• Slide the buttonhole runner as far
forward as possible and sew the
buttonhole as described.
• Pull the loop of the gimp thread into
the buttonhole and cut the threads.
