SEWING THE STITCHES
c
Once sewing is completed, gently pull the
gimp thread to remove any slack, and trim
off any excess.
Memo
• After using the seam ripper to cut open the
threads over the buttonhole, trim off the
threads.
■ Odd Shaped Buttons/Buttons that do
Not Fit into the Button Holder Plate
Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the
size of the buttonhole. One mark on the presser foot
scale equals 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch).
Add the button diameter and thickness together, and
then set the plate at the calculated value.

Memo
• Example) For a button with a diameter of 15
mm (about 9/16 inch) and thickness of 10
mm (about 3/8 inch), align the scale with 25
mm (about 1 inch), or specify 25 mm in the
screen.

b 15 mm (approx. 9/16 inch)
■ Sewing Thick Fabrics
Place a piece of folded fabric or cardboard beside
the fabric being sewn to level the buttonhole foot
and allow for easier and even feeding.

Memo
• If automatic thread cutting is turned on
before you start sewing, both threads are
automatically cut after the reinforcement
stitches are sewn. If the fabric does not feed
(for example, because it is too thick),
increase the stitch length setting.
