Buttonholes
Buttonhole with gimp thread
Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are more
durable and will not stretch. Use pearl cotton or a regular
gimp thread approximately the same color as the sewing
thread to stitch over. Place the center of a length of gimp
thread over the metal bar extending from the center, back
of the buttonhole foot. Pass the thread ends under the foot
and pull up into the right and left guides on the clamp at the
front of the presser foot. Buttonhole No. 9 can now be sewn.
After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of the
gimp thread until the loop of thread is hidden below the
buttonhole bartack. Cut off the gimp threads just behind the
nal bartack.
Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread
Place the center of a length of gimp thread over the metal
bar extending from the center, front of the buttonhole foot.
Pass the thread ends under the foot and pull up into the
right and left guides on the clamp at the back of the presser
foot. Guide the gimp thread along the foot at the side.
Sew the right-hand seam of the buttonhole. After the
machine sews the rst few stitches of the curved end pull
the gimp thread down from the clamp with a straight pin.
Warning: The presser foot must not be raised from the fabric
surface.
Pull the gimp thread on the left towards the rear until the
loop is just in front of the needle. Carefully sew the curve.
After sewing the curve, hold the gimp thread a little more
taut and nish sewing the buttonhole. Cut off the excess
gimp thread.
