Utility stitches and practical sewing
Standard buttonhole with gimp thread
To sew especially durable buttonholes,
on heavy fabrics, knits or sportswear, we
–
recommend using a gimp thread.
0/1
On knits the gimp thread is particularly
important to prevent the buttonhole from
0/1
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 forwards as possible and sew the
buttonhole as described for your select
model.
• Pull the loop of the gimp thread into
the buttonhole and cut the threads.
A
Carfully cut open your buttonhole with scissors or
a seam ripper.
